- Footprint and height: Bottom dimensions 61 cm x 73 cm; top opening 57 cm x 33 cm; height from bottom to top 30 cm. A balanced combination of capacity and portability lets you target crays in tight shorelines and rocky habitats while keeping deployment straightforward.

- Collapsible design: Folds flat when not in use, dramatically reducing bulk on the boat or in the vehicle and speeding up setup on shore or at the marina.
- NZ-compliant by design: Sized and shaped to align with New Zealand fishing regulations; always good practice to follow MPI guidelines for crayfish and regional rules.
- Easy deployment and retrieval: Clear lifting points and robust construction make putting the pot in place and bringing it back with a catch quick and confident. Why this pot stands out on waters
This is compact cray fishing gear that never feels undersized. It delivers dependable performance in a tight footprint, whether you’re solo fishing from a small craft or sharing a weekend run with family. The rugged galvanised frame stands up to saltwater exposure, while the collapsible design keeps your setup tidy and ready for action. Ideal use scenarios
- Solo anglers targeting reef edges and near-structure hotspots where space is at a premium.
- Family trips along the coast, where quick deployment and easy retrieval save time for more lines and more bites.
- Offshore or nearshore rigs where durable, regulation-conscious gear is a must. Practical tips for best results
- Place the pot in a sheltered current and bait lightly if you prefer; check regulations locally for check-in times and bag limits.
