Small Collapsible Cray Fishing Pot

Small Collapsible Cray Fishing Pot — a practical, rugged solution from Bite Fishing for NZ waters. This compact cray pot pairs a sturdy galvanized steel build with a smart, space-saving collapsible design, so you can fish efficiently and store it with ease between trips.

Designed to meet NZ legal fishing requirements, this pot brings reliability to your cray fishing setup without compromise. It’s built to withstand offshore saltwater, with a durable galvanised steel frame that resists corrosion and heavy use season after season.

Key dimensions and what they mean for you

• Bottom dimensions: 61 cm x 73 cm
• Height from bottom to top: 30 cm
• Top dimensions: 57 cm x 33 cm

These measurements are chosen to balance capacity with portability, helping you target crays while keeping the pot easy to deploy, retrieve, and transport. The collapsible design folds flat when not in use, reducing bulk in your boat or vehicle and speeding up your setup on shore or at the marina.

Why this cray pot stands out

• Colossal value in a compact package: a small but efficient pot that fits tight shorelines and rocky habitats, yet remains robust enough for regular use.
• Galvanised steel construction: engineered to handle saltwater exposure, with a long lifespan and minimal maintenance.
• NZ-compliant by design: the pot is sized and shaped to align with New Zealand fishing regulations; always follow MPI guidelines for crayfish and regional rules.
• Simple setup and retrieval: intuitive handling with solid lifting points, so you can deploy quickly and focus on the catch.
• Versatile usage: ideal for solo anglers, family trips, or casual weekend expeditions to coastal reefs and near-structure hotspots.

In addition to the pot itself, Bite Fishing offers compatible buoys and ropes to complete your setup (sold separately). This ensures you have everything you need for a safe, clearly marked, and regulation-compliant cray fishing experience.

Use cases and practical tips

• Perfect for weekend trips to coastal locations where crayfish are abundant. Set the pot in a sheltered current, bait lightly if you prefer, and check after a predictable interval appropriate for your local regulations.
• Great for beginners learning the basics of cray fishing — straightforward to deploy, easy to monitor, and forgiving if you’re refining technique.
• When you’re not using it, collapse the pot and store in a dry place to extend its life and keep your gear organized.

Care and maintenance: rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, allow to dry fully, then collapse for storage. Periodically inspect seams and joints for any wear and address promptly to keep performance consistent.
