Crab/Lobster
78×78 cm bottom frame | 65cm height | weight approx 23kg

Through test fishing of brown crab along large parts of the Norwegian coast, we have documented catch volumes that are up to seven times higher than with conventional traps, while the consumption of both bait and fuel is lower. We have won awards and prestige for our new, patented technology, which can be best described as revolutionary!

By switching to The Viking trap, fishermen can operate with fewer traps on board, which increases profitability and reduces the risk of accidents.

A solid and highly robust trap designed for professional fishermen. Built to remain stable even in harsh weather conditions. The trap features adjustable escape holes for lobster (Ø 60 mm) or crab (Ø 80 mm). The frame is made of 16 and 10 mm galvanized round steel. Three sturdy entrances at three different levels ensure maximum filling of the trap. The trap is quickly emptied by opening the bottom. Equipped with 2 escape holes and 4 mm cotton thread to prevent “ghost fishing.”

Due to their size and the volume of catch, a lifting arrangement, normally a davit over the hauling position, is needed to handle the Viking pots. This reduces manual handling, and consequently minimises bad backs and sore shoulders.
