Stone Crab Trap ID Tags
Installs easy with included stainless screws. We’ve been using Stone Crab Trap ID tags on our traps now for over a year with great success. No rusting, flat install won’t get hung up on boat or ropes, screw down install helps keep from breaking off. However, for a less permanent attachment you can zip tie installation also possible but not included.
LEAD TIME IS ABOUT 2 DAYS. WE DO OUR BEST TO TURN THESE AROUND ASAP TO KEEP YOU ON THE WATER.
