At AUSSNAP™ we possess unique machinery that enables us to produce custom designs in extremely short runs for specific individual end-user requirements. While we carry stock of the regular clips used in fishing, we also produce custom clips for permanent immersion - such as octopus traps (which stay in place for as much as two whole weeks). At the same time, AUSSNAP™ has a special focus on all fishing industry and aquaculture requirements, where it produces clips to suit the users’ exact needs. 

​

Since 2002 AUSSNAP™ has been quietly establishing itself as a growing and important supplier of stainless-steel basket clips to the growing Australian Oyster industry. We have extensively researched and tested specific stainless steel to survive for extremely long periods in the ocean. AUSSNAP™ has mastered this art, and our clips can now be expected, on corrosion grounds, to last the anticipated life of modern baskets, that is 15 to 20 years. We claim our clips: regarding corrosion are very good, remembering wear and extreme weather factors can easily intervene.

 

We soon developed a policy of dealing directly with the end-users. This enables us to ensure that they get the right clip. It is important that the clip starts out a firm fit on both the basket and the line to limit "hammering". We are already receiving increased inquiries from the end-user who are finding the similar clips are not performing. At Aussnap we can supply them custom clips that exactly suits their needs, rather than a "one size fits all" arrangement.
