A method for producing a rope (35) that is useful for forming pelagic trawl mesh, particularly self-spreading trawl mesh. The rope (35): 1. is stronger for a given amount of material; 2. has less drag; 3. exhibits the same. or better lift when subjected to water flow at trawl mesh angles of attack; and 4. is also less costly to manufacture in comparison with known helix rope constructions. Most broadly, the method and apparatus of the present disclosure include a standard braiding apparatus (11) where an additional planetary carrier apparatus orbits about the outside of the usual planetary carrier apparatus, at a same or similar height as the usual planetary carrier apparatus, at a lower speed than the usual planetary carrier apparatus, and preferably carries fewer bobbins (19) than the usual planetary carrier apparatus. |
