Where can we purchase this disentangling tool kit. Or how can we make
one.




There's one sitting in my locker - I almost can't wait until I get
snagged! (Actually I hope I never need it, but that's like saying I'k
never run aground.)

The link to the hook knife is on my site but I haven't had to actually use
it yet because the other system, that you make up yourself out of standard
stuff from the marine supply store, works so well.

As for lobsta pots, they should understand that the Penobscot Bay (and
further east) traps lines include a "toggle" which is a second float
that is on a line about 15 feet long.

Any idea what the purpose of that second float is?

They are to keep the line from snagging on the bottom.

One more thing: The book that this link comes from, "A Cruising Guide
to the Maine Coast," by Hank and Jan Taft and Curtis Rindlaub is the
definitive guide to the coast. Its well worth the price.
