CRAB N GEAR has been a driving force in the design and manufacturer of crab pots and apparatus for over 20 years within the commercial and recreational sector. Our products are producing what is known as one of the most practical, durable and high yielding crab pots and dillies available. |

| HIGH YIELDING: A term used to describe the catch performance rate of a crab pot or apparatus, by its ability to retain. A good crab pot will retain crabs of both gender & size. This combination is yield and different areas produce different yields at different times (knowledge). Experience is the passage to knowledge. Both of which are the bases of creating the design we currently sell. Using the right crab pot will increase your knowledge from higher yielding experience more consistently. |
|
|
| PRACTICAL: The crab pots are made for a purpose with consideration given to all facets of crabbing. Given the numerous designs of boats + set ups, our range of pots are made to suit all of them from the smallest to the largest. |

| DURABLE: 10mm hot dip galvanized steel, 380den x 27 ply x 55 mm mesh, 25mm poly pipe, this design has been made to suit every type of commercial & recreational fisher style of fishing. |
