Rotting Thread For Escape 1 Kg Spool

£24.99 Ex Vat

Rotting thread is an essential safety feature for lobster, crab, cuttle, prawn, scallop & fish traps, designed to help prevent lost or abandoned traps from continuing to catch marine life.

Made to gradually deteriorate when exposed to seawater, rotting thread secures the trap’s escape panel or biodegradable release section. Over time, the thread weakens and breaks, allowing the panel to open and trapped lobsters, crabs, fish and other marine life to escape.

An important part of responsible fishing, rotting thread helps protect marine ecosystems while supporting sustainable commercial and recreational fishing practices.
