The Hillington Crab and Lobster Drop Net is an essential tool for families, recreational anglers, and coastal explorers looking to catch crabs, prawns, shrimp, or crayfish from piers and jetties. It offers a simple, reliable way to engage with marine life using a durable, integrated bait-clip design, though users should note it is designed specifically for stationary vertical dropping rather than active trawling.

No, this net is designed specifically for coastal use from piers, jetties, or shallow banks.
Strong-smelling fish, raw bacon, or chicken scraps are highly effective for attracting crabs and crustaceans.
The rope is provided at a standard length, but you can replace it with a longer cord if you are fishing from a high pier.
Fishing regulations vary by region. Please check your local maritime or fishing authority guidelines regarding recreational crustacean trapping.
Always rinse the unit with fresh water after every trip and dry it thoroughly before storage.
Ensure the retrieval rope is not tangled around the frame and give the net a light shake upon descent to settle the edges.
Ensure the bait is tied securely or wedged firmly within the clip mechanism; if the bait is very small, place it inside a small mesh bag before clipping.
Ensure the rope is coiled cleanly and avoid pulling against the structural debris on the pier floor.
Setup is straightforward: ensure the retrieval rope is securely knotted to the net frame before your first use. Check the clip mechanism for any stiffness and verify the mesh is free of tangles.
After each use, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and organic debris. This prevents the cord from rotting and the metal components from corroding. Allow the net to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing it in a dry, cool place to maximize its longevity.
