Advantages
Entrance
Does not need re-tightening and very difficult to break.
The entrance is hard for lobster to get out (esp with flap modification).
Bait tube
Quick to bait just add mackerel etc.
No need to routinely empty as it is almost self cleaning.
Bait is held for longer keeping crustaceans in the pot for longer.
Plastic mesh is hard for crabs to tear.
