lobster creel pot

 Lobster creel pots are traditional traps used by commercial and recreational fishermen to catch lobsters. These pots are typically made from high-strength wire mesh, nylon, or polyethylene, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments. The mesh design allows for easy entry while preventing escape, and the pots are often lined with bait compartments to attract lobsters.

The design of the lobster creel pot varies, but most feature a cylindrical or hexagonal shape, which helps in providing stability on the ocean floor. Some pots are equipped with escape vents to allow undersized lobsters to escape, ensuring compliance with fishing regulations.

Lobster creel pots are lightweight and designed for easy handling, making them suitable for both professional and amateur fishermen. They are commonly used in lobster fishing operations, commercial fishing, and recreational lobster harvesting.
