JIGGING

JIGGING REEL

The DNG jigging reel has been produced since 1985. It is safe to say that more than 95% of all DNG reels ever made are still in use. Mustad manufactures the DNG jigging reel, along with a full range of deck machinery for gillnetting and longlining.

Automation and Efficiency
The DNG computerized jigging reel is a fully automatic fishing device. It pays out the line and detects when the sinker hits the bottom. Then it positions the hooks at the desired depth and performs a jigging action which can be customized by each individual user. The user can select the jigging speed, frequency and jigging pattern. The reel automatically detects fish on the hooks and hauls the catch up to the surface. The user has full control of all parameters of the jigging operation and can also select additional settings relating to weather, ocean currents and bottom conditions. With time, the user can create his own unique fishing methods.

The large display screen on the control panel shows depth and all settings. The icons on the screen are easy to read, and these user-friendly settings offer endless possibilities. Should the user feel that too many changes have been made he/she can return to the factory settings by the touch of a button. The button panes are designed to endure harsh conditions and the colours have been selected in order to minimize the impact of weather and sunlight on the panel display.

One person can easily operate three or four reels and many small boats are equipped with up to seven reels. With certain additions, the DNG jigging reel is suitable for mackerel and squid fishing.

Good Economy
The DNG computerized jigging reel is a highly sophisticated fishing device. It secures substantial catch at minimum cost. Fishing with a DNG computerized jigging reel is based on a traditional fishing method that in the course of time has proved to be very efficient compared to other methods. Fish auctions throughout the world consistently pay higher prices for superior quality fish caught on reels, confirming its superior quality. There is nothing in fishing that beats jigging.

Strong yet Light
The motor is not equipped with a clutch or a drive. Instead it uses the line drum that is attached directly to the motor axle. The brushless motor is controlled by a computer and fitted with magnets. There are only two friction surfaces. The axle ends in the bearings, making for minimal maintenance and reducing power requirements as well as wear and tear. The versatile motor can easily be advanced or reversed at various speeds. The DNG reel can stop altogether while operating at maximum load without causing any damage to the motor. Tension during fishing is controlled by the software and user settings. The DNG jigging reel is made of heavy-duty salt-resistant aluminium and stainless steel designed to prevent cavity and to endure the shocks and strains resulting from every-day fishing.

DNG C-6000i
The DNG jigging reel has many different fishing methods stored in the fixed memory, designed for fish species such as cod, Pollock, mackerel and squid. Step jigging and various search systems are also available. The user can also develop his own methods and store them in the memory.

The DNG jigging reel is very versatile. The device is protected against polarity reversal and high or low voltage peaks. The DNG reel can operate on 12 – 24V, and will adapt automatically to the connected voltage from 12 – 24V.

 

The DNG jigging reel can inform the user when coming up with fish. The device does so by giving two short whistles when the reel detects a fish, and two long whistles when it has hauled up the line. The reel also displays the depth at which the fish is caught. The reels communicate in order to ensure that the fish are kept beneath the boat for as long as possible. This will organise the fishing so that at least one reel is jigging while the others haul up to deliver fish.

The DNG jigging reel is manufactured by DNG in Iceland . All mechanical parts of the reel (motor, drum and all visible gear), as well as software are designed and manufactured by DNG. Electrical components purchased from suppliers are of superior quality. The DNG jigging reel is subjected to strict quality control standards, where all adjustments are tested under variable conditions.

Low Power Consumption
After many years of research and development, DNG has managed to optimize the electrical efficiency of the motor. The average current of the machine operating on 24V is only 2A. This means that by using only a regular car battery the reel can be used for many hours without recharging. Four reels can operate for up to 10 hours on 80 amps/hour battery without a re-charge!

Constant Development
DNG’s efficient Research and Development department is in a constant drive in order to make improvements and to adapt the reel for more fish species and uses world-wide. The needs, usage and the requirements of users of the reel are under constant scrutiny by the R&D department.

Environmentally Friendly
The fishing fleet is a part of an environmentally conscious world. Fuel consumption on jigging boats is amongst the lowest known per ton of fish caught. Pollution resulting from lost fishing gear is minimal, and there is no impact on the seabed and vegetation. We guarantee that a more environmentally friendly fishing method is not available!
