Frequently Asked Questions
Crab & Prawn Pullers Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need a line puller for crabbing and prawning?
A line puller isn't required, but it makes a huge difference — especially on longer sets. Hauling hundreds of feet of rope by hand is exhausting, and a puller saves your back, speeds up retrieval, and lets you run more traps efficiently.
Q. What should I look for in a crab and prawn puller?
Key factors include retrieval speed, line capacity, power source (12V or drill-powered), trap capacity, and how easily it mounts to your boat. Corrosion resistance is essential for saltwater use on the BC coast.
Q. What is the difference between electric and drill-powered trap pullers?
Electric pullers run off your boat's 12V system for consistent power, while drill-powered models use a cordless drill — making them more portable and easier to set up on boats without dedicated wiring.
Q. How many prawn traps can a line puller handle?
Most recreational pullers can handle one to four prawn traps per line, depending on the model and depth. Always check the manufacturer's rated capacity before running multiple traps.
Q. Can I use the same puller for crab and prawn traps?
Yes, most pullers are designed to handle both crab and prawn traps. Crab traps are heavier, so check the weight rating — many models are rated for one crab trap or multiple prawn traps.
Q. What line size works best with a trap puller?
Most pullers are compatible with 1/4" to 3/8" line. Using a smaller diameter, high-strength line reduces drag in the water and allows more line on the spool — a popular choice for deep prawn sets.
Q. Where can I buy crab and prawn pullers in Canada?
The Harbour Chandler carries a curated selection of crab and prawn pullers suited for West Coast conditions, with options for different boat sizes, budgets, and power setups.
Q. How do I maintain a trap puller for saltwater use?
Rinse your puller with fresh water after every use, inspect moving parts for corrosion, and store it dry. Lubricate gears and pivot points seasonally and check electrical connections regularly if it's a 12V model.
