blueboatdriver Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 In my experience an inkwell will fish quicker than a creel but your lobster has a much better chance of escaping. If you intend to leave your trap down for more than a day or two the creel is probably a better choice. A creel with a soft eye (entrance which is just made from netting) tends to keep every thing in including congers etc. Another advantage on an inkwell is that on a larger vessel you can roll them across the deck to each other when you shoot away; much easier than carrying up a rolling deck.
