Just finished watching. It was exactly what I was looking for: helpful experienced advice on what it takes to build traps. Again, wanted to let you know how much you've helped me and I'm sure many others out there with your efforts. Much appreciated, Scott Osborne Recreational crabber Long Island NY

[@crabcartel]

Enjoyed the video. Yours are the best pots I've seen. Now I want to try to make some. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@crabcartel]

No problem glad I could help.

[@arthurseymour15]

Wow! Super informative video. Really appreciate all the pricing and information stuff. Only thing I’m still curious about is the center division part for crabs to go up to the upper level of the trap. but you’ve done a great job and we appreciate it. Also love, love, love all the stuff about being your own boss. Congratulations for you making that transition. I hope you do very well for yourself. God bless you man.

[@crabcartel]

Thank you so much I'm gonna make another video getting more in depth on the Crab trap.

Nice size traps. I might have to come to Florida big brother

[@justinbilbrey450]

Awesome video man.

[@crabcartel]

Thanks

[@friendlyguy2542]

Awesome job explaining things. You cleared up a lot of questions I had. I am still looking to learn how to create entry doorways and learn how the center divider works. Obviously, they need to be created so they are easy for crab to enter and impossible to exit. I am interested if you used a torch to heat rebar bend points and whether a bench vice was used to bend it. Thanks for teaching us.

[@crabcartel]

So you can go to a place called Malone steel and buy them already bent. Just ask for crab trap squares it's already bent rebar 1/2 inch.

[@BigRedFishDad]

Great videos, I am learning all I can so I can build my own. Btw... love the video where daughter steals your camera 😂

[@crabcartel]

Lol she's bad.

[@schlaznger8049]

Damn I would happily pay $40 to buy one. Nice work

[@crabcartel]

I would sell to you if your interested.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Great video, thank you! I know crabs swim to the top chamber of the pot, is there any way to get them out of the bottom chamber? I don't see any latches at the bottom, to access any crabs that may be down there.

[@crabcartel]

We just turn the Trap over and shake them through the baffle. Then shake them out the same way.

[@TY-dq2px]

Great video. I been crabbing with commercial pots many years in delaware. Wire cost rises annually. Have you considered to make a shorter pot to gain another pot per roll of wire?

[@crabcartel]

I thought about it.

[@trowuabeatin]

You mean to tell me the “Crab Cartel” is scurred to put his FWC Number out in the streets? What’s this world coming to? Pablo would be ashamed. 🤣Great Informational Video

[@crabcartel]

Lmao 🤣 that's a good one.

[@trowuabeatin]

@@crabcartel just made a couple traps myself and your video was very helpful. Good luck to you this season

[@crabcartel]

@trowuabeatin Thank you so much. Yea my goal is to help people learn about the industry.

[@friendlyguy2542]

Awesome effort to explain things. You Cleared up a lot of questions I had. I am still looking to learn how to make the crab entry ways and to learn about that center piece and how it is made and works. Do you bend the rebar by heating bend points with a torch and using a bench Vice?

[@indigameriseminalindian]

Great video my guy. 👍🏾 I was wondering if I was to make ten of these, then post them for sale, how long it would take for them to sale and how often do they sell?

[@crabcartel]

I was just talking to a buddy looking for a person to build. Can't really put a time limit on it but they could sell pretty fast.

[@indigameriseminalindian]

@@crabcartel I'm going to do more research. Hopefully I can find a reasonable profit in a reasonable time period for the business.

[@joeyslife8845]

Hey man, any chance you sell these?

[@quincyvo8876]

How did you cut your wires and what did you use to bend them bro

[@crabcartel]

In the video you watch I cut it and bend it by hand ✋️ with a pair of hand cutter and use my hand and a 2×4 to bend. But I'm making a video now using different technique so pls stay tuned.

[@parkerbattista5436]

Where do you buy your escape rings and hooks?

[@crabcartel]

I get mine from WA Davison

[@MermaidQ]

I am a commercial fisherwoman and I am so proud

[@crabcartel]

That's what's up congrats wish you a bright future 🙌.

[@DomingoQuintero-pq7fb]

Ware do you bent the 42 wire mash

[@crabcartel]

So you will count 13 square from each side and bend them after the 13th square.

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

What state do you crab in I'm in South Carolina

[@crabcartel]

Florida

[@msladebeatz]

What gauge wire are you using?

[@bigsash4539]

Best place to sell if you don’t live in the crabbing or fishing states? We live in TX and I’m excited to start making these but I want to know where to sell them.

[@crabcartel]

It's blue crabber in TX I'm sure. But go on Facebook groups like (Crabber Trading Post)( Blue Crabber of Florida) which is my group. And just network there's more I sure you can get them sold.

[@bigsash4539]

@@crabcartel thank you so much!

[@josephobrien2939]

Cost approximately 20 to build. How much do they sell for??

[@crabcartel]

I really don't sell mine but if I did would be around $35-40 but I think $30 is a good price.

[@johnzaleski6258]

Is there a way you could teach me how to build

Yea sure
