Did You Know? How Automatic Baiting Machines Revolutionize Commercial Fishing Boat？

On longline commercial fishing vessels, automatic baiting machines have completely transformed the baiting process.

• How It Works: The machine automatically chops whole bait fish into uniform, bite-sized pieces, hooks each piece onto a longline hook, and launches the baited hook into the ocean in a seamless, high-speed sequence.

• Why It Matters: Traditional baiting required crew members to manually slice fish and hand-hook each one—a slow, grueling, and dangerous task. Automatic baiters execute this process in a fraction of a second, dramatically boosting operational efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and speeding up fishing deployments.
