King Crab traps
Collapsible and rigid Kingcrab pots

Lin twine 4-150, sq 75 mm green
Lin entrance. Braided 3,5- 80 green
2pc bait bags.
Our kingcrab pots are collapsible for storage but rigid in use.
This means that the pots take less space on the deck of the boat.
Since the pots are rigid on the sea floor, sea currents or waves doesn`t effect the pots, this means that the pots are well suited for areas with strong currents.
The pot remains rigid when lifted onto the boat which gives less damage to the crab and thereby higher selling price for the fishermen
Shrimp pots *Klubben*
Our shrimp pots are easy to use and are stackable, made with strong linnen rope for professional use.

Bait bag
Instead of one big bait bag at the top of the pot, we make our pots with one smaler bag at the top and one in the middle.
The bait bag in the middle helps to keep the shrimp active so that it tends to stay in the pot.
A solid nylon hook with tension rope keeps the net closed when fishing and makes it very easy to open when needed.
