Quick take
A heavy-duty commercial-grade crab trap with two entrance tunnels and juvenile escape rings, ready for deep-water deployment.
The Promar TR-830C1 is a crab trap with a rubber-wrapped rebar frame covered in stainless steel mesh, two gated entrance tunnels and two 4.25-inch juvenile crab escape rings. It ships with 100 feet of 5/16-inch lead line, and its frame measures 30.7 by 30.5 by 11 inches. That size and build suit anglers who want a sturdy trap for crabbing or lobstering from shore or a boat.
Best for
- Commercial and sport crabbing in bays and estuaries
- Overnight and multi-day sets
- Deep-water crab fishing
Skip if
- You fish shallow beaches; a smaller hand trap is easier to deploy
- You are catching one or two crabs for a meal; use a dip net
Strengths
- Heavy rebar frame withstands constant soaking and waves
- Stainless mesh lasts many seasons without rust
- Two gated tunnels keep large crabs inside while letting small ones escape
Trade-offs
- Heavy equipment requires a boat and retrieval system
- Requires bait to be replaced daily or the catch spoils
- Regulations may limit trap size and location; check your state rules

- Crab & shrimp
- Water
