Quick take
A collapsible crab trap with stainless steel frame and 100 feet of rope for dock or boat fishing.
The KUFA CR56 is a 22-inch casting crab trap with a stainless steel frame, made to be thrown by hand or with a fishing rod from a dock, shore or boat. It comes with 100 feet of braided casting rope, which reaches the depths it is meant for, down to 100 feet. Crabbers who fish from a pier or the water's edge and want to cast a trap out past the shallows will find its size and rope length well matched to that job.
