User questions & answers

Question:	What do you use the trap for
Answer:	This trap is designed for Dungeness, Rock, and Stone Crab. This trap is not recommended for Blue Crab.
Question:	There were rubber bands on the trap doors when I got it but not in pictures. Are they required to keep doors shut
Answer:	I think those are just for shipping. Legally, at least in California, it is required to have cotton rope which can rot away and release the crabs should the crab pot be lost.
Question:	Are the grid openings small enough to prevent blue crabs from escaping
Answer:	The escape holes are 4 3/8" and the grid is much smaller than that. Typical Legal limit for blue crab is 5" (at least here in SC) so this should be fine.
Question:	Can the crab go outside the trap door or it’s one way open door
Answer:	The entrance doors on this trap are one-way doors. The crab can get in, but not get out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the 4 arm harness vinyl or steel
Answer:	This 4 arm harness is vinyl with plastic hooks. I recommend replacing the 4 arm harness that comes with the kit with one that has metal hooks and is better secured from hook to rope. The one that it comes with can easily come apart from rope to hook. But everything else the kit comes with works perfectly.
Question:	Doe this trap fold down to become flat for storing purposes
Answer:	No, it does not fold down. However, there are other promar models and other brands that do. A tip is also use weights inside the trap, it’s a little light so it doesn’t necessarily drop straight down in currents.

Answer:	This product is California compliant. The escape rings are 4.25" and the cotton cord is rigged according to CA regulation.

User questions & answers

Question:	how heavy is this cage
Answer:	It is not heavy the cage frame is about 8 gauge metal and the screening is like a nylon. I would say maybe 1-2lbs
Question:	Can this be used to catch dungeness crabs
Answer:	I am not sure, the trap opening(s) are a narrow slits that the crap actually has to push at nylon mesh to slip thru to get in to the trap. It worked great on Blue Crabs and the trap folds nice and flat, easy to transport. I got a metal clip for the center of the trap to make sure it did not open accidently and tied my buoy rope to the that clip.
Question:	Does this work on an ocean pier
Answer:	You would have to weigh it down to use it on a pier. I've caught plenty of blue crab off the pier. Works great!
