4 x Crab'n Gear Heavy Duty Crab Pot Float 150mm | White Foam Round

White High Density Styrofoam

Not all styrofoam floats are equal. There are many ways to measure the ‘quality’ or density of a float, but the most simple one is density. If it is low density there is more air in the foam and it is lighter than a high density foam that is heavier and far more durable. If the foam is heavy it can take a bit of a beating and will survive whereas low density floats will crack and flake quickly. High density foam will also last a lot longer and can be sprayed with coloured spray paint for easy identification or burnt into for easy identification. When spanner crabbing a white float can be hard to identify in the water so painting them a bright or iridescent colour will help you to track them down.
