Material Composition | Saltwater fishing, prolonged water exposure | Industry Standard: Polypropylene (PP) – 6,000 PSI tensile strength (ASTM D885) Our Base: HDPE – 7,500 PSI ▲ Our Advanced: Nylon – 12,000 PSI ▲▲ | Base balances cost and durability; Advanced provides extreme strength for heavy-duty use | Advanced is heavier, reducing portability; Industry standard lacks UV resistance |
Knot Type & Strength | Heavy-duty commercial vs. recreational use | Industry Standard: Single knots (500 lbs break strength) Our Base: Double knots (800 lbs) ▲ Our Advanced: Triple knots (1,200 lbs) ▲▲ | Double knots reduce fraying; triple knots withstand extreme loads | More knots increase weight and cost; single knots risk early wear |
Mesh Density | Targeting small vs. large fish species | Industry Standard: 1.5-inch mesh (ASTM F2005) Our Base: 1-inch ▲ Our Advanced: 0.75-inch ▲▲ | Smaller mesh effectively traps juvenile fish or shrimp; Advanced minimizes escape | Smaller mesh may clog faster; Base lacks precision for niche species |
Float & Lead Cord | Maintaining net position in currents | Industry Standard: Plastic floats (2 lbs/ft buoyancy) Our Base: High-density foam (3 lbs/ft) ▲ Our Advanced: Stainless steel weights (5 lbs/ft) ▲▲ | Advanced stabilizes in strong currents; Base improves standard buoyancy | Advanced adds bulk; Industry standard floats degrade faster in saltwater |
Weight & Portability | Portable handheld nets vs. large-scale use | Industry Standard: 150g/m (PP) Our Base: 180g/m (HDPE) ▲ Our Advanced: 220g/m (Nylon) ▲▲ | Base offers balanced weight/strength; Advanced prioritizes durability over portability | Advanced is bulkier for backpackers; Industry standard lacks abrasion resistance |
Environmental Resistance | Chemical exposure in industrial fishing | Industry Standard: UV resistance (200 hours) Our Base: 300 hours ▲ Our Advanced: 500 hours (ASTM D4329) ▲▲ | Advanced lasts 2.5x longer in harsh conditions; Base reduces fading in sunlight | Advanced materials increase cost; Industry standard degrades faster in UV/saltwater |
