Palmyth Wire Grid Bottom Crab Nets Two Ring Crab Kit with Harness and Bait Clip 24” X 20” X 12”

This trap is the most expensive crab trap I have purchased but you get what you pay for! I love to go crabbing for blue crabs on the pier down from my house. I have tried a lot but this one is the best. First, it’s lightweight and easy to pull up. Next, the bait hook is the easiest to use, especially when pulling off a stinking chicken leg. And the crabs can’t get out but you can dump them out very easily!

THANK YOU. WORKS GOOD

Works great, caught a lot of crabs with this and used cut fish as bait. but you will need to replace the string every year because of the salt water breaking it down.

Trap seems to be well made. There is supposed to be an extra bait hook supplied per the description. Was thinking of purchasing a second trap today, but want to ensure I am receiving what I am supposed to.

Delivered quickly, arrive just as described and seems to be of good quality.

The media could not be loaded. I go crabbing with my friends all over the summer. Our nets have been very worn down, and aren’t as effective as before. While choosing some new gear I picked up this net too. It includes the main wired crab net along with some extra parts too. There’s a ruler provided along with a clip as well. I didn’t find the size too heavy, and it can easily be tossed. The size is perfect for catching large quantities at a time. The mechanism is quite easy and simple too. There aren’t large holes so even smaller sea life can be caught too. Some of the rope was a lot weaker than I expected. It would also constantly get tangled after I pulled the net back in. The three ropes attached to the main rings needed to be reinforced to ensure it’s stable and won’t fall apart while still in the water. I’ve been able to catch quite a bit with this net, but it won’t last as long as I hoped for.

I bought this for crabbing off the pier where I live near the SE USA coast. Worked like a charm! Even dropped it into an oyster bed and had zero issues with the net tearing or anything like that. Thing seems to be made solid and had no issues bringing up the few blues I caught. I did go ahead and zip tie the lower rings together, as others have suggested. I also added a 6oz pyramid to the middle of the bottom ring grid with a Luxon connector. Lastly, I cut a short length off the end of the hand line and used it to make the harness a 4-way, to give the trap a bit more stability (see photo). I still need to make a few adjustments to the harness-arm lengths, but didn’t have any issues using it in the ocean, regardless. Bait hook worked great on some chicken legs. The little scale seems to be handy, as well. Also, I guess I misunderstood the description, and thought it came with 2 bait hooks. However, after speaking with the CS dept at Palmyth, they said it only came with one, but extended me a $10 refund to purchase a second bait hook from another mfg, as they don’t sell them individually. All round extremely pleased with this trap and will be buying a second!

we only crab off a dock a few times a year. this is compact, lightweight and easy to store. we now have 2 units and would recommend these for anyone.
