The Seahorse Tackle Net Black Rectangular gives you a simple crab setup you can throw in the tinny and forget about until it is time to pull a feed. The rectangular footprint sits flat on sand or mud banks so it stays put when current pushes past at a couple of knots. The black mesh keeps the frame low key so crabs focus on the bait sitting in the middle sections. The frame folds down flat so it fits under a seat or along the gunwale without chewing up deck space. The steel rods and synthetic mesh hold up to regular dunks in salty water with a quick rinse after each run. The side funnels guide crabs inside without complex hinges or triggers that can jam with weed. You end up with simple gear built tough for Aussie creek and estuary work.

Q: Does the Seahorse rectangular tackle net fold flat for storage?

Yes, the tackle net folds down flat. The hinged frame sections collapse so the net can sit under a boat seat or in the back of the ute. This makes it easier to run multiple nets without taking over the deck. Folding also helps when rinsing and drying the gear between trips.

Q: Can this tackle net be used from a small tinny in shallow creeks?

Yes, it suits small boats in shallow creeks. The rectangular base sits flat on the bottom so it behaves well when lowered by hand from a tinny. You only need enough depth to fully submerge the frame. Most users run it along creek bends, sandbanks and channel edges where crabs travel.

Q: What maintenance does the Seahorse tackle net need after use?

Rinse the net with fresh water and dry. A simple hose-down removes salt and mud from the mesh and frame. Let it dry in the shade before folding it away to reduce corrosion on the metal sections. Regular rinsing also stops bait odours building up in the mesh.

Q: Do I need extra gear to use this tackle net?

You will need rope and bait. The net provides the frame and mesh body while the user supplies a suitable drop line and float if required under local rules. Most fishos tie on a length of rope that suits their usual depths. Bait can be placed in the centre section using a bait clip or cage if preferred.
