Commercial Fishing Ropes


                    POT WARP     (PW)

     The industry standard for over 25 years, these ropes are specifically designed for the tide, salt and sun conditions found from Florida down through Central America. Bevies' Black Pot Warp Rope last longer than our competitors because they aremade only from virgin resin with a Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS) added for the finest UV stabilization. These ropes are run with extremely high draws for optimum strength. Bevis' unique pre-twist machinery system guarantees uniformity of fiber lloading and lay.

*New Rope Tensile Strengths are based on tests of new and unused rope of standard construction in accordance with Cordage Institute Standard Test Methods.

**In accordance with Cordage Institute Standard Test Methods, working loads are for rope in good condition, with appropriate splices, in non critical applications, and under normal service conditions.  As a general rule, safe recommended working loads are 10%-15% of new rope tensile strengths.

                    QUIK-SHOT          (QS)

     A Bevis Rope Innovation. Specifically designed for Bering Sea conditions, this line has become an industry standard. Designed so that one end floats and the other end sinks, the rope has no mid-line knot to break or give way. Hauling is faster and more stable, with less chance of the line jumping out of the power block.

     Unlike our competitor's attempts to duplicate the performance characteristics of this line, Quik-Shot's color tracers "disappear" when the rope goes from a sinking line to a floating line. There are no splices. Without this line weakening series of splices, Quik-Shot is a far superior performing product.

 WORKING LOADS:  Working loads are based on a percentage of the minimum tensile strength of new and unused rope of current manufacture with appropriate end termination installed in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.  The working load is strictly a guideline for the use of a rope in non-critical applications and should be reduced in situations where life, limb or valuable property are involved, or for exceptionally severe service such as shock or sustained loading etc.  It is recommended that the user establish working loads and corresponding working factors based on professional and experienced assessment of any risks involved.  CAUTION: USE OF WORKING LOADS: Because of the wide range of rope use, rope condition, exposure to the several factors affecting rope behavior, and the degree of risk of life and property involved, it is  impossible to make blanket recommendations as to working loads.  However, to provide guidelines, working loads are tabulated for rope in good condition with appropriate splices, in non-critical applications and under normal service conditions.  A higher working load may be selected only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimate of risk and if rope has not been subject to dynamic loading or excessive use, has been inspected and found to be in good conditions and is to be used in the recommended manners, and the application does not involve elevated temperatures, extended periods under load, or obvious dynamic loading such as sudden drops, snubs, or pickups.  For all such applications and for applications involving more severe exposure conditions, or for recommendations on special applications, consult the manufacturer.  Many uses of rope involve serious risk of injury to personnel or damage to valuable property.  This danger is often obvious, as when a heavy load is supported above one or more workmen.  An equally dangerous situation occurs if personnel are in line with a rope under excessive tension.  Should the rope fail, it may recoil with considerable force - especially if the rope is Nylon.  Persons should be warned against standing in line with the rope.  IN ALL CASES WHERE ANY SUCH RISKS ARE PRESENT, OR THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LOADS INVOLVED OR THE CONDITIONS OF USE, THE WORKING LOAD SHOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AND THE ROPE BE PROPERLY INSPECTED.  DYNAMIC LOADS: Dynamic loading voids safety factors.  When a load is moved, stopped, picked up , swung or imparted to a rope in use, there is an increased force due to dynamic loading.  The more rapidly or suddenly this happens, the greater the increase will be.  In  many cases, the force imparted to the rope may be double, triple, or more times the normal load.  In all such applications, safety factors given do not apply.
