INTRODUCTION
This lesson deals with the identification of tools and classification of twine used
in weaving a net.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
1. Tools are identified according to their use; and
2. Materials are classified in accordance with the prescribed specification.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Lacing joining net parts by passing twine to the mesh without

adding another mesh

Strand composed of three or more yarns twisted together, also

called as ‘ply’

Synthetic fibers are formed by combining the chemicals and alcohol to

produce plastic products

Yarn the second unit of twine; it is composed of fibers twisted

together
 INFORMATION SHEET 1

A net is made from different materials. The specifications of the net materials
are dependent on its purpose and uses, whether it is used for fishing gear or sports
accessory gear.

Tools Used in Net Weaving

1. Shuttle mesh/ Netting needle

- it holds the twine which goes in and out to

make more meshes, it is made from plastic, copper,
horn of animal and bamboo.

2. Mesh gauge

-it is used to keep the size of meshes in uniform;

this tool is made from plastic and bamboo

3. Cutter/Trimmer

-it is used for cutting the twine

 Material Used in Net Weaving

Twine
It is a strong thread, string, or cord composed of two
or more strands twisted together.

Fibers are the smallest unit of twine.

Parts of a Twine

Classification of Fibers

Fibers are generally classified into two: natural fibers and artificial or man-made
fibers. Natural fibers are taken from three sources such as: 1) minerals, 2) animals, and
3) vegetables. Wire fibers are from the hair of a sheep, while the cotton, kapok, ramie,
hemp, and abaca fibers are from the bodies, fruits, and leaves of plants.

Man-made or artificial fibers are known as synthetic fibers. The following are
examples of synthetic fibers:

a. Polyvinyl Chloride PVC (Teviron)

b. Polyvinyl Alcohol PVA (Kuralon)
c. Polyamide PA (Nylon, Perlon, and Kapron)
d. Polyvinyliden Chloride PVD (Saran, Kureharon)
e. Polyester PES (Tetoron and Terelene)
f. Polypropylene PP (Pylen)
g. Polyethylene PE (Coulene, Hizex)
 Common Types and Forms of Synthetic Fibers

Synthetic fibers are manufactured in the following common forms and types.

1. Monofilament Fibers. These are the single filament fibers. An example of this
fiber is transparent polyamide PA (commercially known as nylon, perlon, kapron,
amilan, and rilisan). These are commonly used for gill nets, line fishing, and
ropes.

2. Continuous Filament Fibers. These are thinner filaments of silk-like fibers

having infinite length. These fibers are formed to make filament yarn or thread.
The yarns are gathered up to form a strand. Examples of these fibers are
polyamide, polyester, and polyvinyl chloride.

3. Staple Fibers. These fibers are usually prepared by cutting filaments into 40mm
to 120mm which are bound to form a yarn which has similar appearance to
cotton yarns. The hairy nature of the twine decreases the slippage of knots. An
example of this yarn is polyvinyl alcohol (kuralon).

4. Split Fibers. These fibers are from plastic tapes which are stretched during
manufacturing. The yarn made of these split fibers are similar to natural hard or
bast fibers. Examples of these fibers are polypropylene and polyethylene.

Common Uses of Synthetic Fibers in Fishing

The following synthetic fibers are commonly used in the different fishing gear:

1. Polyamide (Nylon). The continuous filament type of this fiber is commonly

used for gill net and seine net. This is used for seizing and lacing twine. The
staple form fiber of this kind is commonly used in trawl net-making and rope
construction.

2. Polythylene (PE). This fiber is commonly used for rope construction and trawl
net making.

3. Polyester (Tetoron). This fiber is used in most purse seine, dip net, and small-
scale set nets use this kind of fiber long line fishing.

4. Polyvinyliden Chloride (Saran). This fiber is mostly used in large-scale set net.

5. Polyvinyl Alcohol (Vinylon). The continuous multi-filament fiber of this kind is

mostly used in dip net, purse seine net, small-scale set net, and gill net. The
staple fiber type is commonly used in purse seine, bottom trawl net, ropes,
and long line gear construction.
 The durability of the net is based on the chemical, physical and biological
properties of the netting materials used in the construction.
