Description
A trawl block is a heavy-duty pulley system used in marine fishing operations, specifically on trawlers, to guide and support trawl warps (steel cables) as they deploy and retrieve fishing nets. Mounted on the gallows or booms of a fishing vessel, the trawl block reduces friction and wear on the cables while allowing smooth movement during trawling operations. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the intense forces involved in deep-sea or bottom trawling.
