Trap pullers

Tashmark · 08 March 2019, 04:30

Hi,
Just got a 1996 Zodiac 14" and would like to get a prawn trap puller and attach to rib. Does anyone have any suggestions or pics of what they have done? I have a stainless steel front bar with cleat on it and also a stainless steel arch on the stern.
Thanks for any help or ideas

Custom pot-hauler - just for interest sake.

Thanks but I don't have that kind of dinghy set up in the front

On a 14 ft boat a pair gloves might be the solution

Thanks Charliee,
Would you be wearing the gloves when you get here or just put them on to pull the 300 or so feet of line on each trap?Big Help!

Did you solve the prawn trap hauling issue? I have a similar problem. Mostly solved by wife sporting gardening gloves who enjoys hauling the trap line. My problem is that I wish to come up with a roller or other effective non permanent system to mitigate tube chafing. Any ideas?

Simple & cheap is a piece of conveyor belting or similar thick rubber mat cut to cover the tube.

We use rubber door Mats from b&q the ones with holes in, tie wrapped to the boat and each other work a treat and cheap
