The Weighted Upright Pole is the backbone of your StowAway pot, designed to hold the structure upright and give it the extra weight it needs to sink quickly and sit securely on the ocean or river floor.
Crafted for strength and balance, these poles ensure your pot doesn’t drift or tilt, keeping it in prime position for a successful catch. Perfect as a spare or replacement, they’ll keep your StowAway pot performing at its best.

No - it’s designed for recreational crabbers, caravaners, families, and weekend fishos. If you’re a hardcore crabber running dozens of heavy-duty pots, this probably isn’t for you.
