veiðarfæra, tölvuvindan er
komin til sögunnar. Tölvuvind-
an dregur ekki aðeins færið,
heldur stjórnar hún veiðunum.
Hún gefurfærið út, heldur réttri
fjarlægð frá botni og skakar og
dregur færið inn þegar fiskur
hefur bitið á. Þessi nýja tækni
gerir einum manni kleift að
vinna með margar vindur í
einu. Þannig veiðir einn maður
jafnmikið og heil skipshöfn
gerði hér á árum áður.
í byrjun níunda áratugarins
setti DNG á markað rafeinda-
stýrða færavindu og árið 1987
kom svo á markaðinn tölvu-
stýrð færavinda frá DNG.
Vinda þessi náði þegar miklum
vinsældum og vann sér traust-
an sess á innanlandsmarkaði
og í dag er markaðshlutdeild
vindunnar yfir 85% hérlendis.
Þrátt fyrir að vindan hafi sann-
að sig sem afburða tæki hafa
þróunarmenn DNG sífellt unnið
að endurbótum á vindunni og á
sjávarútvegssýningunni f

vinnu undanfarinna ára. Nýju
vindunni svipar mjög til þeirrar
gerðar sem nú er á markaðn-
um en hún er þó minni og býður
upp á enn fjölbreyttari notkun-
armöguleika, þrátt fyrir að þeir
séu mjög margir í dag. Vindan
verður þó áfram jafn einföld í
notkun og hún hefur verið.
Möguleikar á áframhaldandi
þróun vindunnar verða mun
meiri með tilkomu nýju vind-
unnar þar sem stærri og öflugri
tölva kemur í stað þeirrar sem
er notuð í dag.
Vegna mótorsins sem er ein-
stakur að gerð, er vindan ákaf-

eiginleikum sem hafa verið
óþekktir hingað til. Ekki er um
að ræða neina kúplingu eða

DNG COMPUTERIZED JIG-
GING REEL
Ensure high quality econom-
ically caught fish
Fishing with a hand line is
one of the oldest methods of
fishing known to man. It has
been used since the begin-
ning of time in most countries
of the world.
The fishing device was a
very simple one and consist-
ed of a hook and piece of
string. The string was made of
different kinds of material
since the supply available in
each geographical location
was decisive in this context.
The simple hooks used were
usually homemade from
horse hair or similar material.
Nowadays the line is made of
material that is both stronger
and thinner than that of earlier
times.
In the course of time many
improvements have been re-
alised through endeavours to
increase the catch of fish and
develop more effective meth-
ods of fishing. The first step
was to increase the number of
hooks, and a two-hook line
became popular. Later, many
hooks were placed on the line
and a reel was used to town in
the line and prevent it from
being released.
When the reels appeared
on the scene artificial bait
soon followed. Thus the need
for using bait was eliminated.
When the artificial bait is used
the line must be moved con-
stantly in order to arouse the
interest of the fish in the bait
and therefore this method is
referred to as jigging. This
century mechanical line reels
have been developed which
largely got rid of the toil and
hardship involved in using the
hand line.
The last few decades have
witnessed a revolution in the
construction of fishing equip-
ment with the advent of the
computerized jigging reel.
The computerized jigging reel
not only hauls in the line but it
also controls the fishing. It re-
leases the line, keeps it at the
right distance from the sea
bottom, jigs and hauls in the
line when a fish has taken the
hook.
This new technique makes
it possible for one men to work
simultaneously with many
reels. In this fashion one fish-
erman can catch as much as
whole ship crew used to do in
earlier days.
The DNG computerized jig-
ging reel is a highly sophisti-
cated fishing device. It se-
cures a substantial catch for
the fisherman at a minimum
cost. Fishing with a DNG
computerized jigging reel
constitutes the continuation of
a traditional method which
has, in the course of time,
proved to be very successful.
The use of a fishing reel en-
sures a good catch and what
is more important it yields the
best quality fish. Good raw
material in turn provide the
highest price for the catch.
The DNG computerized jig-
ging reel is wholly automatic.
It releases the line and keeps
it at the right distance from the
sea bed. And adjustable pro-
gram controls the jigging op-
eration. When afish has been
caught on the hook the reel
hauls in the line and all that
remains to be done is remove
the fish from the hook.
Fishing boats are often
equipped with several com-
puterized jigging reels so that
it is a full time job simply to
take the fish off the hooks
when the fishing is good. The
speed and efficiency
achieved by using the DNG
computerized jigging reels
