Re: Video:shaft cutter tests

very cool video. it seems like running into a line is ok but not a net or a tarp.
thanks for posting!

And keep in mind those are small pieces of netting...
Something they don't show: when a float hits against the cutter...nothing much gets cut and the line tangles almost as if there were no cutter...guess how I learned that!!

I loved it... You get to see each one "in action"... Here in N. Florida, the ICW and St John's River is covered in crab traps..... In and out of the channel.
