The Story of Proffteiner

Proffteiner was founded by professional fisherman Jim, who has over 20 years of experience with trap fishing. After a shoulder injury forced him to rethink his future, he set out to develop a better and more efficient way to fish.

The result was a completely new type of crab trap designed to deliver higher catch rates, fewer lifts, and reduced strain on the body. With its distinctive pyramid shape and multi-level entrances, it is engineered to attract and catch more crabs using less bait and lower operating costs. In short, it can significantly increase profitability for fishermen.

With the establishment of a UK-based warehouse, we are now expanding sales of the Odin Pot to the UK market. This marks an important step in our continued strategy to become the preferred supplier of pots and related equipment for fishermen who demand efficiency, quality, and reliability.
