Prawn snap-in rings
Welcome to our new adapter ring that reduces the eye in Prawn Creels from 75mm down to 60mm to reduce the amount of small brown Crabs getting into the creels. The small brown crabs are real problem in certain areas and fishermen have been fitting 60mm Cod End Rings with cable ties to curtail the problem. Fitting Cod End rings with cable ties takes up valuable time at sea whereas the new ring comes with its own clips and can be fitted in seconds from the outside of the creel. The ring has a unique shape so as not to present a step in the entrance to the prawn.
The ring comes with two plastic clips which are part of the moulding. The clips are twisted to release them from the moulding and are clipped on to the ring. The ring is then offered into the eye where the locating leg is fitted in to the bottom mesh nearest the entrance ring already in the creel. The ring is then laid against the existing ring and the clips are sprung into place on the existing ring. All this can be done from the outside of the creel and literally takes seconds. The ring is very securely attached and is in front of the existing ring and so resists any pushing from the crabs.
