    1.0 OVERVIEW The EdgeTech 5112 Ropeless Fishing System (RFS) was designed with fishers to eliminate the need for a persistent vertical line to connect fishing gear to a surfaced buoy until just before retrieval. The intent is alleviating possible whale and other marine-life entanglement and help prevent line tangles, cuts, tipped cages, and other adverse effects of seafloor to-surface lines.
