I want one of these...

I have no lobster pots, but what a great toy!

This was a device marketed by an Irish company. Just clip the end of the flexible drive onto the top nut of your Seagull, and it'll haul your lobster pots up from the bottom.

Big fun!

Looks like some good possibilities to lose fingers. What if it was a heavy lobster and wound the boat under?? Rick

Looks like we're going to need a bigger boat...

[Bilge Rat]

With the load trying to unscrew the nut, looks like a good way to get a mouthful of spinning flywheel.

This would have been just the device back in it's day!

I still have strong memories from adolescence of the exhaustion from manually hauling longlines & nets
