To help grow your mussel crop, our floats offer several distinct advantages. The float is explicitly designed to withstand high wave pressures and sit steadily on the water, even when loaded with a whole crop of mussels. In addition, a unique patented fin design reduces the movement of the float in the water, making the line more stable even in rough sea conditions.

The oval shape design reduces the impact on the float from the ocean in rough seas, which in turn reduces the loss of crop from the lines. In addition, float handles are offset from the centre so that the head line will be submerged using only 25% of the float’s floatation compared to others that can be up to 50% of the float’s floatation.

The mooring eyes are strong and durable, with both a long and wide opening for ease of handling. This increases the lashing area for the head line and reduces the risk of wear and tear on head line ropes. Manufactured in a marine grey colour that reduces the visual impact on the surrounding environment, the polyethylene is fortified with UV stabilisers designed, especially for marine applications. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time for the mussel farmer.
