The present disclosure provides a rope (35) having a braided sheath (398) that forms the coverbraid about a strength member core (37), said rope (35) being suitable for forming mesh in pelagic trawls, wherein at the outside of the braided sheath (398) a spiraling elongate element (36), e.g. a strand or an extruded elongate element, is provided, said spiraling elongate element (36) having a greater pitch in comparison to a pitch exhibited by other strands (397) forming the braided sheath (398). The rope (35) is stronger for a given amount of material, has lesser drag, is capable of exhibiting same or improved lift when subjected to water flow at trawl mesh angles of attack, while also being less costly to manufacture, in comparison to known helix rope constructions wherein the pitches are equal. |
