Lindgren-Pitman Inc. was founded in 1975 by Peter Lindgren and John Pitman in small three hundred square foot warehouse in Pompano Beach Florida. Pete held a degree in mechanical engineering while John held one in electrical. Together they established themselves as the local “go to guys” when it came to manufacturing deck gear for the emerging longline fishing industry.
Lindgren-Pitman Leader / Buoy Line Carts
Constructed of marine grade aluminum finished with epoxy and feature changeable spools. Leader carts are an ideal choice for storing longer leaders and buoy drops in a tangle free man-ner. Dimensions approximately 40″ long x 24″ wide x 42″ high.
Lindgren-Pitman LS Series Line Setters
Designed to pull monofilament longlines from the spool at a rate greater than or equal to the vessel speed, as desired. This allows the line to be set with a predictable sag between floats so that baits can be fished throughout the water column. Line setter speed is controlled by adjusting the line setter speed control. An optional digital speed read-out display is available to ensure accurate and repeatable line setting. Using the chart provided with the LS Series Line Setter, maximum hook depth can be calculated and is dependent on vessel speed,line setter speed, distance between floats, gangion length and buoy drop length.
Line setters also reduce the tendency for mainline to backlash and allows for deeper, more efficient fishing with shorter gangions, thus reducing monofilament costs.
The LS Series Line Setters feature axial piston hydraulic motors with stainless steel shafts, epoxy finished marine grade aluminum construction, replaceable drive elements, automatic main spool control, and adjustable speed control. Hydraulic requirements are 12 gpm @ 1200 psi.
Lindgren-Pitman Monofilament Longline Spools
SUPER SPOOL III 40″
The new Super Spool III is designed specifically with monofilament line in mind. With a larger 22-inch core, the Super Spool III evenly distributes the pressure on the monofilament line – lowering stress when the line is stored. In the end, it means the monofilament will outlast line on other longline spools and reduce replacement costs. Lindgren-Pitman’s latest technology has eliminated welds between the end plates and the core to create a stronger longline spool with smoother hauling.
FEATURES:
- Improved Hydraulics
- Larger Spool Core
- Innovative Construction
- High-Tech Solid Cast Aluminum End Plates
- Level Winder with Guard
- Stainless Steel Shaft Assembly
- Heavy-Duty Shaft Bearing
- Heavy-Duty Formed Tube Stand
- Line Setter Control
TWIN SUPER SPOOL III 40″ x 80″
The new Twin Super Spool III is designed specifically with monofilament line in mind. With a larger 22-inch core, the Super Spool III evenly distributes the pressure on the monofilament line – lowering stress when the line is stored. In the end, it means the monofilament will outlast line on other longline spools and reduce replacement costs. Lindgren-Pitman’s latest technology has eliminated welds between the end plates and the core to create a stronger longline spool with smoother hauling.

SUPER SPOOL III – 48” x 80”
The new Super Spool III is designed specifically with monofilament line in mind. With a larger 30-inch core, the 48″ x 80″ Super Spool III evenly distributes the pressure on the monofilament line – lowering stress when the line is stored. In the end, this means the monofilament will outlast line on other longline spools and reduce replacement costs. Lindgren-Pitman’s latest technology has eliminated welds between the end plates and the core to create a stronger longline spool with smoother hauling.
