Drift Gill Net

Gill net is a curtain-like net consisting of a set of one or more pieces of rec­tangular nets made usually of nylon twine, each 92 meters long and 10 meters deep, effecting the capture of fish by gilling or entangling. A line with wooden floats (25.4 mm x 457.2 mm) is attached to the upper portion of the net made of twine of 210/26 which is joined at the lower portion of the main net/webbing. This thicker webbing serves as weight or sinkers.
