Cheers All,

After having 2 tandem sets of prawn traps stolen yesterday I have decided to replace the remaining 2 as well - so everything matches.

Each set consists of:

One Polyform A-1 float
One 1 lbs kellet
One 500' ground line (approx)
Two commercial prawn traps 31" s/s
One 75' x 5/16" connecting line between traps
Two s/s pot snaps
Two Scotty bait cups
Two Scotty bait cup keepers

I priced out this combination at 2 different local sports stores and, while they don't have this high a quality product, they would retail for about $350.00 / set (including tax). I normally sell these new for $275.00 with no tax - and I do have a couple left.

These two sets are in great shape and one has a brand new ground line while the other has a new float (not even a name on it - yet).

Each set is spliced together and is ready to fish.

Sale Price: $150.00/set

I will give FVI the first 3 days, and if they are still here, I will post otherplaces.

Located in Nanaimo

PS Just finished splicing last of the new traps - so the purchaser can now actually see what I am doing. OH yeah...$1100.00 later.

Cheers All,

One Gone - got up this morning and there was a truck waiting in my driveway to pick up a set of traps. He was thrilled at the deal and has gone directly to the water to fish prawns.

One set left.

Cheers All,

Had this sitting in email when I got in for lunch:

Got my set set in the water already. Looked brand new to me at a good price. I was just about to get a beater set from PNT.

Thanks Gerry

Cheers All,

Second set has been spoken for and should be picked up soon. If it were to fall apart I will repost. Thank you for all the interest and to the successful purchasers.

I fear that in my haste to acknowledge a good deal for me I have slagged the used traps that PNT sells. The ones I have bought there in the past have needed some very minor repair, however I would not hesitate to seek them out in the future as they are very good value.

I am sorry if I have created the wrong impression.

You make me LOL with that comment,
FG, was selling BRAND NEW prawn traps for the same price as PNT's used traps. I was selling used traps for $20 each. In the BST paper there are were lots of used prawn traps for far less $'s then PNT is tring to sell theirs.

Shop around guys,
Even RVP was selling them same PNT used traps on his auction site for cheaper then PNT. I phoned PNT to find that out.

Cheers All,

The last pair of used traps were picked up this morning. It has been a real treat to meet other fishermen from the area (and some from further away). Both sets of used gear went to great homes and prawns should shake with fear!

I still have new traps at excellent prices (better than the stores) along with line, floats, kellets and snaps.

Picked up the prawn traps from FG this morning-great setup and a great deal! Thanks
