Although Spain cannot boast of noteworthy fishing grounds of its own, the tradition of fishing is deeply rooted there. This country has developed a huge, deep-sea fleet that can easily adapt to operating in a range of international fishing zones. Across these zones, the fishing winch stands out as an essential piece of equipment. If it works well, a vessel’s fishing capacity is assured. The aim of this study is to determine which fishing winch is the most suitable for operating in the numerous fishing grounds frequented by the trawlers from the Spanish fishing fleet. For each fishing zone, therefore, a relationship will be established between fishing winch design parameters and the depth in which the fishing gear works. This activity is directed towards a specific fishing ground and species, which in turn determine the type of boat and fishing system used. Different equipment is needed because depths vary. Hence, the type of system changes. However, it would be interesting to see how this variation affects fishing winch design for far distant fishing conditions in terms of drum capacity, traction and rendering and recovery speeds.
