Octopus Technology Products

The high grade durable plastic Trigger Trap is an innovatively designed, eco-friendly, species specific octopus trap, developed by Octopus Technologies following extensive research and ocean trials.

Its highly effective proven track record replaces the ‘hit and miss’ shelter pot technology which is the traditional method of fishing for octopus in most countries. The Trigger Trap is geared towards higher catch rates, while having less of an environmental impact on the ocean floor. Its unique design ensures that an octopus is the only species which has the strength and curiosity to trigger the trap, making it completely species specific.

The design ensures that once the octopus is trapped that it is completely enclosed and safe from predation, allowing the user to always retrieve a premium, undamaged octopus from the trap.
