Building Hex wire Crab Traps

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

I enjoy watching you assemble those crab traps. Thanks a lot for your help.

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

[@How_I_Caught_Crabs]

It always amazes me the differences of what works for crab (and other fisheries) in the Atlantic verses the pacific….. Even after changing hole sizes, etc. I’d still have to put a 25 pound weight in the bottom of that thing or it would be miles away from where I dropped it just 24 hours later. Many Pacific pot makers build the frame out of rebar for a reason, and sometimes that’s not enough (such as areas in the inside passage with deep trenches and strong currents)…. Cool video, interesting design elements.

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Thank you, yes it’s a whole different world crabbing in the pacific.

[@Trapperjohnny13]

Did it for years.......miss it so $$$

[@igl9273]

Excellent and seems you can do it so fast! What tools do you use?

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Thank you we use basic tools pliers , cutter’s and pneumatic ringer .

[@jimjordan5630]

How much for the hex trap vs the rectangle wire trap?

[@RickSeling]

I live in salt springs and I've bought traps from these guys before you're very reasonable

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Thank you for the kind words

[@modemfox]

@@3KingsCrabbyAdventures Can these be ordered from a web site somewhere? I live in Panama City florida and I don't want to drive that far just to pick up a few traps.

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

@@modemfox Hi there sorry for delay in responding. Unfortunately we do not ship traps at this time as it’s very expensive , our website is currently being updated. We are working on having traps that you can easily make yourself and more products that will be made available online as well . Keep an eye out for that . Thank you

[@igl9273]

Very informative video! What tool do you use to clip the mesh together? Thanks

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Thank you we use a pneumatic 1/2” hog ring gun

[@igl9273]

It is nice to see how it is done.

[@igl9273]

I watched your other video How long does it take to make a Hex crab trap? It is crazily fast!!!

[@silaspbaker]

do you still need a zinc when you use the coated wire?

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Hi there it depends on where you’re crabbing. Traps tend to last longer with zinc but vinyl coated traps do last longer in general so you don’t really need the zinc but if your crabbing a lot the zinc will help the trap last longer

[@ricola7YT]

Very nice

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Thanks

[@popquizzz]

Man, is that a good dexterity and forearm exercise routine? How do not end up with Popeye forearms at the end of the day?

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Haha yes it can be but like everything else you get used to it. Wish it built some kinda muscle 💪

[@shinitapepper5629]

Do you make blue crab traps for South Carolina how much do you sell them for?

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Hi there we are far away from SC but we do make traps for Beaufort Marine supply in SC if you want to check with them .

[@moztheravensfan]

High Quality Trap

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Thank you

[@timbotide]

If I wanted to assemble the traps myself could you ship all of the wire sections pre cut and ready to assemble?? I can cut all of the holes myself. Thanks.

[@3KingsCrabbyAdventures]

Hello we are not currently pre cutting and shipping materials however we have been considering doing something like that in the near future. We have kicked around the idea of building it yourself kits of 1-5 traps . If your talking commercial and need 100s of traps we could do that but would have to figure out the shipping. Give us a call 352-685-2595 Thank you
