On the conical traps I use a weightlifter's disc wt. of 3#, now I have a funnel base bottom of 10"+ when hauling, also have a puller Mr. Crabby. I use rebar on the diagonals to lift the the hoop2-3" off the ground keeping the funnel base and better scent flow/ anchor legs The re-bar keeps the hoop from walking.

Thank you allPanache The area is a crab or relatively shallow, and I choose my weather accordingly and low moving tides This is been a formula that works extremely well for me and I don’t require the weights on my traps as you will need in deeper water and or higher currents Although I could see your helpful hints being very useful for others thanks for your comment. Let me know how your crabby season goes Ron.
