ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a means of reducing the hauling force of a bottom contacting fish net by enclosing or draping at least the leadline of the net with a flexible bearing means. This can conveniently be a tube of flexible polyethylene film or a strip of film which wraps under the leadline. The tube has access openings at regular intervals to permit tying the leadline to the net. These openings also permit free egress of air and ingress of water when the net is in use. The tube serves as a bearing for the leadline as it rests against the substrate. This reduces the tendency to dig into the substrate and, in turn, decreases the energy required to haul the net across the bottom.
