Quick take
A 30 ft hand line with lead weight for lowering baited nets to catch crabs.
This A1FISHER crab throw line is a hand-lining kit built around 30 feet of cotton cord, a 4 oz lead weight and a stainless steel bait pin. You tie on a chicken neck or leg, toss it out, and the weight holds the bait on the bottom where crabs feed. It suits families, kids and first-time crabbers working a dock, pier or shoreline without a trap.
