Adverse consequences from derelict gear how big a problem does a typical unit of derelict gear (e.g., 1 sheet of gillnet, 1 fragment of bottom trawl net, 1 pot, 1 fish aggregating device) from a fishing method cause due to: (a) ghost fishing, (b) transfer of microplastics and toxins into food webs, (c) spread of invasive non-native species and harmful microalgae, (d) habitat degradation, (e) obstruction of navigation and in-use fishing gear, and (f) coastal socioeconomic impacts
However, Im not convinced that such a small increase in sensitivity is even noticeable by most human hands, much less when fishing the surf
However, its particularly effective in deep water, much more so than side imaging
Spa-flex hosing is a great option, as is the flexible PVC tubings which can be integrated into a standard PVC plumbing fitting
I would be curious to see what your opinions would be if you ever had a chance to try it
