Knotless Eye-Splice

IWILL Co., Ltd., located in Busan, South Korea, has developed innovative Pelagic Trawls. These trawls have been supplied to large and super trawlers operating in Far East Fishing Grounds for the past two years, resulting in excellent operational outcomes and a commendable reputation.

More specifically, the product developed by IWILL Co., Ltd. is the Bars used in the rope part of Pelagic Trawls (refer to our gallery).

The ends of the Bars are made using HMPE and Dyneema instead of the traditional eye-splice, significantly reducing the volume and weight of the eye-splice section while increasing strength and abrasion resistance. As a result, the lifespan of the Bars has been extended by at least 50% compared to conventional Bars.

The advantages of our "Knotless Eye-Splice" are as follows:

  1. For Pelagic Trawls of the same size, they occupy approximately 25% less space when loaded on the deck due to reduced volume.

  2. For Pelagic Trawls of the same size, they weigh approximately 15-20% less.

  3. Underwater resistance is approximately 15% lower compared to trawls of the same size.

  4. Due to lower underwater resistance, trawling speed is at least 0.5 knots faster.

  5. The entrance opening of Pelagic Trawls is approximately 20-30% wider than that of trawls of the same size.

  6. With increased trawling speed and larger opening, the catch volume is approximately 30% higher.

  7. It can save approximately 10-15% of ship fuel.

  8. With both ends made of HMPE (or Dyneema), the strength and abrasion resistance are significantly better, resulting in a lifespan of the trawl approximately 50% longer than conventional trawls.

  9. Due to improved strength and abrasion resistance, the frequency of trawl repairs by crew members is significantly reduced.

  10. The Knotless Eye is considerably smaller than the traditional eye-splice, allowing the rope part winding on the net drum during trawl hauling to be spread closely together, resembling thick ropes of the same diameter. This prevents issues such as elongation or breakage of Bars that commonly occur during winding.

  11. Our "Knotless Eye-Splice" can be applied to any ropes desired by the buyer, including Nylon-12, Z & S-Twisted Ropes, and any kind of braided rope, etc.

  12. All types of ropes used in our Knotless Eye-Splice undergo full stretching and heat treatment during manufacturing.
