A wide range of bottom trawl designs

Vónin is one of the North Atlantic region’s leading bottom trawl manufacturers. Our bottom trawls have been in constant development over many years, and we offer a wide range of bottom trawl designs – from high-lift to wide spreading gears – from multi-purpose gears to trawls designed to target specific species.

Our bottom trawls are used on trawlers ranging from small coastal vessels all the way up to the large factory trawlers working multi-rig gear.

Bottom trawls from Vónin are used in as diverse fishing grounds as the Barents Sea, off eastern Russia, off the east and west coasts of Greenland, in the Flemish Cap, off Newfoundland and Labrador and elsewhere off Canada.

Vónin Zenith

Vessels have increased their catch up to 10% when changing to this bottom trawl which has a high opening and great spread.

Vónin Bacalao

A bottom trawl that can be towed fast without losing the ground contact and performs on virtually any fishing grounds.

Vónin Monkfish

A monkfish trawl with extra long footrope and low height which is especially effective on smooth grounds.

Vónin Turbot

A bottom trawl that is particulary effective on good grounds for fish that are hard on the bottom.

Vónin Flatfish

A bottom trawl with a low headline height and good bottom contact and is specially design for targeting flatfish.

Advantages with Fortis

The Fortis netting has been developed with a combination of outstanding strength and stiffness to provide opportunities for scaling down twine sizes in trawl gears. Using Fortis netting gives you the options of sticking with the same trawl dimensions but with reduced drag – or increasing the trawl’s size without affecting the overall water resistance.

Documented sea trials to compare trawl gears have demonstrated that Fortis netting results in a better flow of water through the gear, and our customers who have switched to this netting are all reporting better catch rates with Fortis gear.

Design

Vónin shrimp and bottom trawls are based on designs to have very good bottom contact and superb waterflow.

Workmanship

Vónin has always taken pride in its netloft skills. This is the craftsmanship that even in this age of automation can’t be replaced

Material

Alongside its traditional skills, Vónin’s experience is that using quality materials also pays off in the long term.
