Crab Pot Rubber Coil – Heavy Duty Pot Protection Rubber
Product Overview
This crab pot rubber coil is a heavy-duty strip of rubber used in the construction and maintenance of crab and lobster pots (creels). Supplied in a coil (approx. 12.5kg), it is commonly used by Newlyn crab fishermen for reinforcing and protecting pots.
🔧 What It Actually Does
This isn’t rope or bungee — it’s rubber belting/strip that is:
-
Wrapped around the base or edges of crab pots
-
Used to protect the pot from wear and impact
-
Helps reduce damage when hauling pots onto the boat
In many cases, it’s made from recycled tyre rubber, cut into strips, which is durable and cost-effective.

💡 Why It’s Important
