About
CodCoil
CodCoil pots meet state and federal regulations. One original CodCoil with 500 liters internal volume weighs under 10 pounds fully rigged. Cod Coil wraps a custom-produced knotless UV-resistant polyethylene web around a premium quality hot dip galvanized steel coil frame to create a collapsible highly-effective fish trap. After extensive testing of various mesh types and sizes the Cod Coil 500L is available in 1 inch half mesh knotless web. The entrance funnel is made from a very light nylon material that is more effective than the heavy entrance material on other traps. Additional material for both is available upon request.
The current model CodCoil 500 is made of a hot dip galvanized steel frame in 6mm and is 27 inches in hoop diameter and 50 inches long. The internal volume is about 500 liters. This trap seems to fit 200-250 pounds of black cod in the round when fully stuffed in good fishing off SE Alaska. Off California we think good fishing is 60 pounds a trap average.
We also have traps in the same dimensions with significantly thicker frame material and thicker web available.
We are also producing a larger, heavier version in 8mm frame material with heavier web. This trap is about twice the weight as the 500L version in 6mm wire but is 32 inches diameter and 60 inches long.
Please contact us for availability as there is currently a wait for the upgraded models.
Custom sizes, mesh specifications and entrance sizes are available upon request but require a few months lead time.
