From time immemorial in Russia, the production of fishing nets has been very common, and to this day this art is very popular. Not only is fishing a rather interesting hobby, it is also a great idea for a business.
There are many people who have such a hobby in any region of our country. If the net is well executed, it will become an indispensable attribute of successful fishing in any body of water. But in order for the production of fishing nets to become a profitable business, you need to know a few key points.
This will allow you to create products with high professionalism and sell them to people who are fond of fishing. We will talk about how to make high-quality nets, what types they are, how to choose a knitting machine, and how to sell all this later, in this article.
Types of networks and their production
Today, the production of fishing nets is divided into two main types: first of all, hand knitting without a machine tool and weaving with the specified device. We will not consider options for creating seines in production. These products, which are manufactured in various ways, can differ not only in appearance, but also in quality. These two methods diverge in the processes of work, since in the first case manual dexterity is important, and in the second you must definitely choose a good machine that will do most of the work on manufacturing networks.
Networks without a machine
Networks without a machine are created from two materials: from a strong nylon thread or from a fishing line of the required thickness, which can be purchased at any specialized store. In order to successfully implement this work process, you must first prepare your workspace.
To do this, you can sit in any convenient place, for example, in front of the TV, just sitting on a chair. It doesn’t matter where the fishing nets will be made, the main thing is that the process is carried out easily and simply.
Then you need to weave a shuttle with threads and start creating the selected pattern. In this case, it is customary to call a drawing that acquires a network in the manufacturing process. In fact, these are geometric wastelands between the threads, and the whole appearance of the product depends on what shape they will be. There is nothing particularly complicated, the main thing is to choose a convenient weaving scheme for yourself, and everything will work out.
Networks on the machine
The machine takes care of all the main work, so you will not especially need sleight of hand.
Such networks are also created from kapron thread or fishing line - it all depends on what kind of product you want to see in the end.
But it is worth noting that if you plan to fish in a pond with a large current, for example in a river, it is better to make a net from a fishing line.
However, for sale, you can make a network of various formats, patterns and materials, so that potential buyers always have a choice.
The main thing in this process is to choose a good machine, buy the necessary materials and just get started. The manufacture of fishing nets is a simple matter, for this you do not need to have special knowledge and skills, everything is quite simple and easy.
How to choose a machine?
Production of fishing nets using a machine requires careful selection of high-quality equipment. That is why you need to buy equipment in a store that specializes in selling fishing products and various related items.
Fishing net knitting machines can be of different types. There are many models of equipment, the quality of which depends on the manufacturer.In order not to make a mistake in choosing, you must first find a good store that is popular and has an excellent reputation as a supplier of really high-quality goods.
The machine should be selected based on its technical parameters, operating mode, power and quality assurance. It is worth noting that for a home business, you should not purchase high-power devices, because you yourself will not be able to master the work plan for which such a mechanism was created. Therefore, choose the best option so that it suits you in price and quality. If you plan to open this business without prior experience, then you do not need extra expenses.
Further it is necessary to learn more about manufacturers. Remember that you should not give preference only to a foreign supplier, as our domestic developers are not inferior in quality to overseas. That is why, if it is possible to buy a domestic machine, we recommend choosing it. The cost of such a product is not too big, but the work is done at the appropriate level.
You can purchase equipment both in a real store, and using the services of online resources. In the second case, there will be much more choice, and the cost will be much lower, since most often virtual auctions work directly with manufacturers, which means they can offer minimum prices for their goods. In addition, a purchase can be made without leaving your home, which is very convenient for each buyer. As a result, your parcel can be delivered directly to the declared address.
