JIGGER TYPE FISHING VESSEL Japanese

[aukepalmhof]

The stamp of 30p issued by the Falkland Islands shows us an unidentified Japanese Jigger Vessels: There are two main types of jigger vessels, large specialized Squid jigger vessels that work primarily in the southern hemisphere, and smaller vessels operating in northern waters. (The jigger depict is a Japanese vessel catching squid.)
Jigger vessels operate by deploying a number of lines, with multi-pronged lures (often called jigs) or baited hooks, from the sides of the boat. The lines are attached to jigger winches (typically on the larger Squid jigger vessels) or jigger machines (on the smaller vessels targeting Cod). The jigger winches/machines cause the lures to move in a jerky, vertical motion in the water column, which ~

Vessels simulates the realistic movement of the targeted species’ prey. Squid jiggers are equipped with high-powered lights that are used to attract Squid to the surface and the lines. Vessel size varies from small vessels that only fish for a target species, to larger vessels (60 m, 197 ft) that fish and process the catch on board.
