Spearmasters Lobster Snare

Overview

The Spearmasters Lobster Snare is a diver-operated capture tool for securing spiny lobster sheltering beneath ledges and inside reef structure. Its long shaft positions the snare loop beyond normal hand reach, while a pull-operated mechanism tightens the loop from the handle.

Snare operation

Position the loop over the lobster's tail and pull the mechanism to cinch it closed. The locking system holds the loop until the manual release is operated, allowing the diver to maintain the capture without continuously holding tension on the pull mechanism.

Design

The loop section of the snare is angled, allowing the ability to tickle the lobster out of its shelter before opening the loop and lassoing the lobster tail.
