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

My family and I took this on our vacation to Virginia Beach and went crabbing off a fishing pier. We used it about 4 or 5 times and overall caught several dozen blue crabs and one turtle (it was released safely). The trap was sturdy and well built and the ropes were good qualtity. There was no noticeable wear and tear, or fraying. The crabs stayed in the net while it was being hauled up. We will definitely continue to use it on future crabbing expeditions.

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!

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!

Man this was a blast. I think that might be more about how fun crabbing is with young kids on a nice day, but the kit worked great. Only note is that to watch the depth of where you’re going and make sure you have enough rope. We had to get another rope to reach the further out areas where the better crabs were. But otherwise fantastic. Caught three keepers in 45 minutes, which was perfect for a novelty family outing!

Caught a lot of crabs. Large and works.
