Lobstering Basics - Trap Design
Data:2014/10/9
Most modern-day lobster traps (also called pots) are rectangular(for easy stacking when out of water), and are constructed of coated wire mesh. Wire traps began to replace the traditional wooden traps begining in the late1970s. Wire traps require less maintenance and are lighter out of water (about 40 lbs. vs. 125 lbs.) than wet wooden traps C yet heavier in the water (about 35 lbs. vs. 7 lbs.) This makes them easier to maneuver out of water and more stable in the water. The typical trap costs between $45-$60.
