About this product
A simple, good-quality hand line for crabbing. It comes with booms and a weight, and the bait goes in a net bag instead of on a hook.
With no hooks, it's the line to choose for younger children. Lower it from a harbour wall or pier, then lift it slowly so the crabs hold on.
Bait isn't included. Always supervise children near water, check the tides and local rules, and return crabs gently after a look.
No hooksThe bait sits in a net bag, so there are no hooks to handle.
Ready to useBooms and a weight come with the line. Just add bait.

FAQs
Questions before you buy
Is it safe for younger children?
It has no hooks, so it suits younger children, but they still need an adult with them near water.
How long can crabs stay in the bucket?
Keep it short. Use seawater, have a look, then return them gently.
