snoods, clips and hooks in order to avoid tangling. New hooks can be slid into the magazines when needed.
The Autoline SelectFish™ System is designed to be space efficient and strong. Light weight material is used. Installation is very flexible and requires small space since the system is divided into five modules. This makes it easier to obtain good weight distribu-tion across the deck. The total weight including one hundred magazines is around 1400kg, plus lines and hooks. This makes it possible for vessels down to ap-prox. 35 feet to install the Autoline SelectFish™ sys-tem, under the condition that it has sufficient stability.
The Autoline SelectFish™ System is a compact user friendly longlining system. Automatic longlining gives much better working conditions for the crew than with manual longlining. For example no more heavy loading of land baited fishing tackle.
The longline vessels using Autoline SelectFish™ System are cost efficient. The catches is of excellent quality which gives the fisherman an opportunity to get a better price. Longlining is a passive and sustainable fishing method. The sea bed will not be damaged, and the impact on the eco system is minimal.
Features and benefits
The innovative Autoline SelectFish™ technology is based on a robust and smart mechanism that sepa-rates the snoods from the main line. The snoods are automatically attached to and detached from the mainline by a plastic ball and clip system during set-ting and hauling. The snooded hooks with clips are stored on separate magazines for easy storage and handling, while the mainline is efficiently spooled onto drums.
The Autoline SelectFish™ system can automatical-ly operate monofilament lines down to ø3mm and/or polyester lines up to ø5,5mm. This makes the SelectFish™ system very flexible, and selective gear can easily be applied according to season and other conditions.
The snooded hooks are automatically attached to and detached from the mainline by a plastic ball and clip. The snooded hooks with clips are stored on sepa-rate magazines for easy handling and storage while the mainline is spooled onto space saving drums.
Limited manual handling is needed to operate the full Autoline SelectFish™ System. The lines are stored directly on the drums which makes it space ef-ficient and eliminates the problems with tangling of lines and snoods. The vessel can carry several drums depending on the storage capacity of the vessel, and they can easily be loaded and unloaded by the crew.
The drum unit can be loaded and unloaded from both sides, which eases the process of changing drums. It has a proportional hydraulic system with a robust and concealed electronic control system.
The magazines are produced in extruded aluminium.This minimizes the weight and makes it easy to han-dle on board. The magazines, with a capacity of 120 hooks each, are designed in a way that locks the

Description of the units
The SettingUnit™• Clip Connector• Coastal Baiter • Line Setter
The SettingUnit™ automatically attaches the snooded hooks to the main line, cuts the bait, baits the hooks and sets the line at a max speed of 180 hooks/min.
The HaulingUnit™ • Main hauler SF V315 with hook cleaner • Hauling unit with hook separator and clip dis-
connector
The main hauler pulls the gear from the sea over the rail roller and into the boat. The fish is then automat-ically released and the hooks pass through the hook cleaner, which cleans it by means of brushes. The gear is then passed on through the guide pipe lead-ing to the hook separator. The second hauling unit automatically detaches the snooded hooks from the mainline at a speed of 30 hooks/min.
The drum unit / Storage unit• Drums for main line• Magazines for snooded hooks• Magazine storage unit available in different
types depending on the number of magazines and space onboard.
Separate storage of hooks with snoods and mainline enables a larger number of hooks on the vessel.
The type of storage unit for the magazines is adapted to each vessel.
