Ísfell is a leading company in design, development, and production of bottom trawls. The company offers bottom trawls tailored to individual needs, for different conditions and fish species. The bottom trawls are designed in various shapes and sizes whether for one, two, or three-trawl fishing.
Great emphasis is placed on keeping the resistance of the fishing gear as low as possible so it is easy to drag and the fishing ability is good. The material selection for the fishing gear is the most important part to receive good results. In recent years, new and better materials have been introduced that have resulted in even better results and durability as well as minimal maintenance costs. These include regular PE netting, Compact PE netting, Dyneema netting, rope, and hydrodynamic floats that slice better through the water.
In the company’s product development process, computer simulation and flume tank tests are performed to achieve the desired characteristics. In this process, strong collaboration with the users of the fishing gear is important. This way, Ísfell promotes innovation and continuous improvement.
