Crab Traps for Every Fishing Adventure

Crabbing is one of Australia's most enjoyable outdoor activities, offering a fun and rewarding experience for families, recreational fishers and serious anglers alike. Whether you're dropping traps from a boat, kayak or jetty, choosing the right crab trap improves your chances of success.

Our collection includes crab traps suitable for targeting:

• Blue swimmer crabs
• Mud crabs
• Sand crabs
• Spanner crabs (where permitted)

Designed for easy baiting, quick deployment and efficient retrieval, these traps help attract and securely retain crabs until you're ready to haul them in.

Lobster Traps Built for Tough Conditions

For anglers targeting Australia's prized rock lobsters, a quality lobster trap is essential. Designed to handle rough ocean conditions, our lobster traps feature robust construction, secure entrances and durable mesh that stands up to repeated use in saltwater.

Whether you're fishing along rocky reefs or offshore ledges, our lobster pots are built to provide years of reliable performance while helping maximise your chances of landing quality crayfish during the open season.

Durable Construction You Can Rely On

Every trap in our range is selected for durability and long-lasting performance.

Features may include:

• Heavy-duty galvanised or coated steel frames
• Corrosion-resistant mesh
• Foldable and collapsible designs for easy storage
• Secure entry funnels
• Strong rope attachment points
• Quick assembly and deployment
• Long service life in harsh marine environments

Quality construction means your traps continue performing season after season, even in demanding Australian conditions.

Choosing the Right Crab or Lobster Trap

The best trap depends on where you're fishing, your target species and local regulations.

When selecting a trap, consider:

• Target species
• Water depth
• Current strength
• Trap size and weight
• Ease of transport
• Local fishing regulations
• Required escape gaps and identification tags

Using the correct trap not only improves catch rates but also helps ensure you're fishing responsibly and within your state's recreational fishing rules.

Tips for Better Results

To maximise your success when trapping crabs or lobsters:

• Use fresh, oily bait such as fish frames or mullet.
• Use tough bait like fish frames as smaller baits like pilchards will get picked off
• Position traps in areas with tidal movement.
• Allow traps sufficient soak time before checking.
• Mark your trap clearly with the required float and identification.
• Check local size, bag and season regulations before fishing.
• Regularly inspect ropes and mesh for wear.

Good trap placement and fresh bait often make a bigger difference than the trap itself.
