WE RECKON THESE ARE THE BEST CRAB NETS ON THE WA COAST…
It would be hard to find a better, more durable, long-lasting crab net. These highly sought-after Bunbury-made drop nets come complete with solid steel rings, Sapphire brand netting and five metres of rope. These are not your normal drop nets; no built-in redundancy, they’re made to last for many, many years – no more replacing rusted out wire bottoms or patching worn out netting on dodgy 4mm galv steel rings.
The hexagonal nets are easy to stack and store, and come in two sizes – 570mm or 630mm diameter, with either with two or three steel rings.
This is larger than most of the crab nets you’ll find elsewhere, but they don’t seem to require any additional effort when lifting them out of deeper water. The triple ring setup is designed to minimise the ‘billowing’ of netting which might slow the crab’s movement over the netting and provides a little extra drop on the sides when lifting. From personal experience, I reckon both are excellent options and well worth the extra few dollars to own robust, long lasting drop nets.
Come in to Crackpots and have a look. We also stock bait, and a complete range of floats and every size rope you could want.
