Crab Pot Rubber Coil – Heavy Duty Pot Protection Rubber

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.

⭐ Key Features

• Heavy-duty rubber coil (~12.5kg)

• Highly durable material – designed for harsh marine use

• Protects crab/lobster pots from wear

• Reduces impact damage to pots and boat deck

• Flexible and easy to cut to size

• Widely used in commercial fishing (e.g. Newlyn fleet)

⚓ Typical Uses

• Wrapping crab and lobster pots (creels)

• Reinforcing pot bases and edges

• Protecting pots during hauling

• General marine rubber protection applications

💡 Why It’s Important

Crab pots take a lot of abuse from:

• Rocks and seabed contact

• Repeated hauling

• Boat deck impact

Rubber belting acts as a sacrificial layer, extending the life of the pot and reducing damage to both gear and vessel.
