T&T: Paravane Rigging

[trawlerdoc at aol.com]

I used 10LBs/sqin on Rollsdoc. Since we have 300 sqin birds 3000 works for me.

Subject: T&T: Paravane Rigging




Hello All,
   
  I have finally started rigging my paravanes and am having trouble deciding on 
what breaking strength to use for the line to the fish. In the event that I snag 
a fish on a large object, I want it to break away before damage occurs to the 
paravane boom, superstructure, etc. My problem is that I have been unable to 
find information as too much force is generated by the fish. Does anyone know of 
a strain gauge that I could insert in line with the fish to measure the force 
being generated?
   
  Thanks,
   
  John
