"I-Loca (Innovative Lobster Catcher) is an 8-octagonal lobster trap innovation tool with better advantages than the usual lobster trap tool. The I-Loca lobster trap tool can increase the income and profits of fishermen with more catching capacity. In addition, the advantage of this I-Loca lobster catcher is its practical design because it is easy to carry and easy to store, strong but lightweight and corrosion resistant because we use stainless steel material plus it has a detection sensor that makes it easy for fishermen to easily get the presence of lobster. Plus this lobster catcher is safe, durable and uses materials that are friendly to the environment.
