Reply To: Crab trap recommendation

[Rick & Sue]

We purchased the http://flexfoldtraps.com/” title=”Flex fold crab trap” target=”_blank”>Flex Fold Crab trap , mainly because of storage concerns. We have used it a few times and had success. It is more expensive so make sure you set it so it doesn’t drift away. I installed weights to help keep it in place. I have also heard the Round traps are better (what the pro’s use) apparently crabs walk in straight lines?? and if they don’t find the entrance they will not turn the corner of a rectangular trap but would follow a round trap until they find the entrance? Seems like a good rationalization for my round trap 🙂
