My old lobster bag is starting to fall apart - too many sharp lobster parts poking holes in the mesh over the years. I am looking at some of the new fangled bags that people are selling on the InterWeb, and wondered if anyone on SB has tried them out?
Option #1 - Lobster Hotel
This looked like a very clever idea to me, but some of the online reviews say that the hole is too small if you bag a big bug (which I can imagine would be, ahem, frustrating).
Option #2 - One handed squeeze bag
This one also looked very clever - no mesh for the lobster to snag up in, plus if you can operate it with one hand, it must be easier to bag up. Two things worry me - firstly, does the spring mechanism go after a while? And second, if the lobster doesn't snag in mesh, presumably there is a chance that your first lobster might slip out when you are bagging your second lobster? Or worse, a lobster might be able to push its way out?
Option #3 - Old faithful
I am figuring if you can't rely on new technology, stick with what you know?
Does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) with options 1 or 2 (or something completely different)?
