Get Ready for Lobster Season With the Equalizer Lobster Snare

For many divers, lobster hunting has become a favorite past time. These large crustaceans are quite difficult to catch, but are definitely worth it (just go to your local seafood restaurant and check out what the current market price of lobster is). The “bugs”, as divers like to call them, can make for a delicious dinner, especially after a day of diving. Lobstering has been a long-time hunting activity, traced back to the 1800s, when these creatures were first gathered by hand when they were washed up in tide pools or shorelines. These days, especially with the invention of scuba equipment, catching lobster has become a sport among divers. Much like fishing, it’s regulated, but common species of lobster are not endangered (having few natural predators). Of course, lobstering can be tricky - it usually involves chasing after the lobster and catching with a net and placing it into a bag.

A trouble-free way to catch lobster is with the “Equalizer Lobster Snare Kit” from Aquatic Specialties in Florida.

This kit has everything you need to catch those tricky crustaceans. The snare can be operated with one hand, and made of a light, sturdy PVC material. Unlike a traditional net, this device will allow you to secure your catch effortlessly. A 36″ inch fiberglas “tickle stick” allows you to coax the lobster out of its hiding place. The “ultimate” lobster bag has a unique design - a one way door, mesh and super-strong codura  body and a side zipper for easy removal of the lobsters, plus the lobster gauge will tell you if the bug you caught is within the legal limits.
