- Prevents poaching
- Keeps your ropes clear of other vessel's props
- Helps prevent theft of your craypot
Using the Float Timer

Simply use small tyraps to secure the timer to two points on the drop rope. The aim is to effectively shorten the rope so that the float will be held under the surface of the water. The tyraps should be fed between the strands of the rope so that they do not slip.
After 24 hours the Float Timer will corrode through, releasing the float to the surface to allow retrieval of the craypot.
