Eagle Claw 10161-009 Two-Ring Crab

I have ordered these crab baskets twice before,one for my mom and 3 for me, but my cousin came to visit,thought they were trash and threw them out! smh. Anyways,yes i ordered them again because there is nothing like catching your own batch of crabs! and these crab baskets help me catch as many as i want! they work Great!! only problem I have is letting my son throw basket out into the water,he thinks it needs to be thrown all the way out in the middle Atlantic ocean! lol great buy!

I love it prevents crabs from cutting holes in the net and sturdy! Only set back was the thin weak ropes it came with and i replaced with stonger rope. but other than that amazing!

First of all, this trap works. I bought two, and in an hour had four keeper crabs (dungeness and red rock) and a couple dozen throwbacks. Even caught a small spotted ratfish. So if you're looking to catch crabs on the cheap, this trap will definitely do it.So why not five stars? First, it's a little on the small size, two keeper crabs and it's pretty much at its limit. Second, the way the mesh falls, the crabs seem to have a pretty easy time getting out. A few crabs were nearly out of the basket by the time I got them onto the pier, and I felt the pressure on the line drop off while hauling the trap up several times. But the traps that do a better job keeping the crabs in cost 3x-5x as much, so I'm only knocking off one star.Bottom line, if you want to catch crabs and only want to spend $12, this is a good buy.

This is an amazing crab ring!I recently traveled to southern Oregon to go camping and wanted to take my kids crabbing for the first time. After seeing some of the gear the other crabbers were using I questioned this rings ability. Other people were using some pretty commercial looking rings and traps and had 1-3 crabs in their buckets after crabbing for several hours... We ended up hauling in 13 dungeones crabs in a little over 3 hours.I can't guarantee the same results, but I can guarantee that you have no need to worry this rings ability. We brought in 3 crabs measuring over 7 in at one time, using one chicken leg, zip tied it to the bottom ring.I also purchased a promar ne-104 harness to ensure stability. I would recommend doing the same. The included harness is made of a non poly rope and has an "S" hook that most likely wouldn't work without some modification.I couldn't be more happier with this product.

The main body of the trap is solid. The strings that connect the rim to the main rope though are flimsy, and almost certainly would not have lasted long. I used a roll of surveyors string and stainless steel carabiners to fashion on new lines. Worked great

Very light weight, simple construction. I changed out the cord for something a little more durable. Other than that great buy!

Wow. What a piece of junk. The basket is well made but the lines holding onto it are garbage. It is also quite small. I would have returned it but based on the good reviews I thought I would try it and see if I could defeat the odds.

I go crabbing *all the time*. These metal mesh traps work great! Because I go often I re-rig them with sturdier line and I attach 4 instead of 3, sometimes the current is so strong near my crabbing spot I need that 4th line. I use cable ties to rig a weight to the outside of the bottom and more cable ties for the chicken leg I use for bait. Last September I caught this guy, he just barely fit in the basket.

Working fine
