Quick take
A 30 inch diameter crab pot of welded steel mesh designed for deploying from shore or boat.
The Promar TR-530 is a 30 by 10 inch steel crab pot with a blue vinyl coating, made for anglers who set pots for crabs from shore or a boat. Three tunnel entrances with mesh ramps lead into a central bait box, and a hinged tending door gives access to the catch. Two escape rings let juvenile crabs leave the pot. It suits anglers who want one pot that bait-loads and hauls the catch through a single door.
