How to modify your crab traps to catch more crabs

I like the 2 ring wire crab traps because it is easy to use and will always land the right way. Of course we need to modify it so it works properly every time.
1. Remove the metal hook they give
2.Replace the 3 line attached to the wire ring if they are cheap looking
3.Add bullet lead weights (user more than 16oz in total) tie with zip ties
4.Attache a thick lines so it does not burn your hand when pulling the traps up (25-40 feet)
5.Tie a rope in the middLe to hold bait and use it to tie your rope when done
Remember to pull fast with these baskets as crabs can craw up pretty fast.
Hope you catch a buck of crabs with this modifications.

I also like putting a cork in the center above 3 trap ropes below main line. This keeps the trap ropes above crabs or when u pull in u throw crabs off trap

[@KingKonAdventure]

That’s an awesome ideas! Thank you for sharing.

Wow it’s premiering exactly when I’m gonna be crabbing at field 10 for rock crabs, wanna join in?

[@KingKonAdventure]

I would love to. Maybe when I am back from ice fishing.

Hi. I understand that this is a 1 year old video, but do you have a link where to get that particular trap? Thanks

[@KingKonAdventure]

Dick’s sporting good has them. Check under Marathon 18” Double Ring Wire Crab Net.

Thanks for this i came here from your other video - im new to crabbing and just got this set up planning on going out for my first time - what do you recommend as far as keeping crabs before I cook them? Cold water / ice? Should i cook right away or keep in the fridge for a day (and how to store?) - would love any advice thank you!!

[@KingKonAdventure]

Bring a cooler if possible if it’s a hot day. If not, a bucket is good but keep it in the shades. No water in the bucket or cooler. No ice as this will kill the crabs from the fresh water. Oxygen is limited in saltwater so the air is better. Recommend cooking it her same day. Not all will survive the next day and don’t eat the dead ones. Hope that helps. Good luck and hope you get some for a good experience.

@@KingKonAdventure thanks so much and one more question - how long do you usually leave traps like this down for?

[@KingKonAdventure]

@@elzucocampbell I would start with 3-5 minutes then increase if it is slow. It does fluctuate based on conditions. Remember when there are super strong currents, the nets won’t stay down. It will parachute and you won’t get crabs. You need slower currents.

Let me see about this I was going to make a vidoe about this next week. Let’s see if our techniques are the same

[@KingKonAdventure]

Can't wait to see your version.
