Quick take
24-inch square crab trap with four entrance doors and two escape rings, folds for transport and storage.
This 24-inch square folding crab trap is made for Pacific Northwest crabbers chasing Dungeness and similar crab. It uses vinyl-coated steel wire with four entrance doors and two escape rings for undersized crabs. A rot-cord system lets the trap open up if it is ever lost, and it stands 13 inches tall set up and folds flat for easy hauling and storage.
