Stay compliant and keep your gear clearly marked with these durable, custom-printed fishing ID tags, perfect for crab pots, cray pots, rock lobster gear, buoys, drop nets, hoop nets, pyramid nets, shrimp nets, and more. Whether you're out for a recreational fish or working the water commercially, these tags help ensure your equipment is clearly identified and regulation-ready.

Each tag is made tough with a reinforced tip and mounting hole, so it won’t snap or fall off – even in rough conditions. Attach easily to rope, mesh, wire or buoys using cable ties, split rings, or stainless steel clips. Custom printing is available on one or both sides, making it simple to include your name, phone number, boat rego, license ID, gear type, or year of use. These tags are a smart way to protect your gear, meet local fisheries compliance, and make sure your setup is easy to spot and claim.

11 colours available for laser printing. Use different colours for gear types, registration years, or individual fishers in a group.
