The Eagle Claw CTRAPSNR Crab Snare is ideal to cast off pier or boat. This crab snare features a fully enclosed coated wire bait box that opens on one end and six heavy monofilament loops that open while on the sea bottom. Attach your fishing line, either mono or braid (use 20lb or higher test line) to the swivel, place your bait in the bait cage and start attracting crab. When you reel in the monofilament loops tighten up to snare the crabs.
