Quick take
A compact 5 oz crab trap with six self-opening loops, designed for Dungeness, blue, and rock crabs.
This is a castable crab snare that is cast with a fishing rod, so you can work crabs from a pier, the shore or a boat without a pot. Six self-opening loops sit around a 5 oz body with a vinyl-coated, lead-free weight, aimed at Dungeness, blue and rock crabs. The 4-pack comes with bait, a gauge and a casting glove, and it pairs best with a heavy rod and braided line.
Best for
- Crabbing from piers and boats
- Surf crabbing in moderate to heavy water
- Beginners learning to trap crabs
Skip if
- You need a trap that works in extreme heavy surf
- You target large crab species that exceed the loop capacity
Strengths
- Lead-free construction is safe for marine environments and easy to handle
- Six loops increase catch probability compared to single-opening traps
- Compact, stackable design stores easily and weighs little for travel
Trade-offs
- Five-ounce weight may struggle in strong current without additional sinkers
- The six loops require careful handling to avoid tangling when setting
- Vinyl-coated wire is less durable than stainless steel for long-term saltwater use
