Maryland Blue Crab Pot Trap, PVC Coated Wire mesh, Heavy Duty, Two T.E.D. (Turtle Excluder Device), Two Escape Rings, Float, Rope, Ready for use. Come with Crab & Lobster Measure Gauge. Made in USA

Works as described. Smaller fish get in but can also get out. Crab can’t get out. Only thing is i had to put my bait in a homemade net bag inside of the bait compartment bc a critter was eating all my bait and not getting trapped. The bait compartment could be redesigned to prevent this. The octopus can get in and out no problem.

It was really hard to find a Florida legal blue crab trap on Amazon. Very sturdy and easy to operate, perfect size for me. It said Maryland but it came exactly as I needed for Florida regulation. This will be fantastic to drop in while I fish with my ambush nets or while i fish for sheepshead. And, it came early... Super happy

Very easy to use, came quickly.

This is a toy trap. Don't waste your money. Go ahead and spend a bit more and get a trap that will actually keep the crab in it. I bought 2 of these and put them out, out of curiosity I checked them after 24 hours and had 2 crab in one trap. Decided to let it soak for another 12. Went back to pull it and had one crab and no bait. These are not worth it.

I recently purchased the inexpensive crab trap for my crabbing expedition, and boy, was I blown away by its performance! This little gem of a crab trap has exceeded all my expectations and delivered outstanding results at an incredibly affordable price. First and foremost, let’s talk about the cost. I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced this crab trap was compared to other options on the market. It didn’t break the bank, which was a big win for me. But don’t let the low price fool you; this trap means serious business! Now, let’s get to the most important aspect - its catching ability. And boy, did this trap deliver! During my trip, it attracted an impressive number of crabs, making it a feast to remember. I caught more crabs than I ever thought possible, and it definitely made the experience unforgettable.

Little on the pricey side.

Must be tended otherwise crabs will escape. Harness would be a better choice, retaining trap by one point isn’t good, but float and line are functional. Use float to lift harness away from trap per your need. Perhaps cut in half if it causes trap to move, but better to keep harness clear of trap. Spent 3 weeks underwater and only has minor marine growth, and didn’t remove coating after drying. Caught 8’ moray eel 3 times till I finally relocated, a testimony to its durability!

Used these for Blue crab in VA. They worked great, allowed the small ones to get out and the big ones stay in. Definitely a great purchase. The float is nice but the rope it came with is not sinking rope. I bought some lead core rope to use with the floats provided. If you set them out away from a dock you need to upgrade the rope so boats don’t catch or cut your rope.
