First WEKE-Katiska - fish trap came out in 1993. Veikko Hakala, a professional fisherman from Korpilahti, had designed and produced the first model of the fish trap for his own use. In 1998 the production of fish traps started on an industrial scale.
The company has followed certain principles over the past 20 years:
“That’s where the fish swims best"
WEKE-Katiska fish traps are very strong and long lasting, because they are constructed out of custom made, welded, strongly zinc galvanized armored steel netting and struts. WEKE fish traps are assembled using aluminum-zinc alloy fastenings, and are painted by immersion. That is the key to their longevity.
