Quick take
A steel-ring crab trap designed for crabs and lobsters of all sizes, with heavy-duty netting and a bait cage.
This crab trap uses a 30-inch ring with a 16-inch bottom ring, joined by polyethylene netting that forms an 18-inch-deep net. A 50-foot orange rope and a plastic bait cage come with it, so it is ready to set for crabs and lobsters. Its steel-ring, netted design suits anglers who want a simple hoop trap for the dock or a boat.
