Tips on octopus fishing
Octopus hides offer an economical and user-friendly solution for octopus fishing. These moulded plastic tubes provide a hiding place for octopuses. Our octopus hides feature a single-entry chamber that allows the octopus to freely come and go. Placing them in the middle of octopus feeding grounds maximizes their effectiveness, providing shelter in open areas where natural hiding spots are scarce.
