It folds flat for carrying and opens with a pull-string, so it is baited and dropped within seconds. Entry holes sit around the full circumference rather than on one face, so it fishes from every direction. Take the 8-hole for a simpler trap that clears quickly, or the 12-hole for more entry points at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo versions: 8 entry holes or 12 entry holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop-up pull-string system — opens instantly from folded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength nylon mesh over a corrosion-resistant steel frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop rope fitted for lowering and retrieval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBaiting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Use oily, strong-smelling bait: fish heads and frames, mackerel or sardine, chicken carcass or necks. Tie it into the centre or into a bait bag so crabs must work at it inside instead of dragging it out through a hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to set it\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mangrove edges and creek mouths, jetty and wharf pilings, the edge of mudflats and sandbanks, rock walls. Crabs travel these edges, so a trap on the edge out-fishes one in open ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoak time\u003c\/strong\u003e — Give it roughly 30 to 60 minutes before the first check. If it produces, leave it longer; if it comes up empty twice, move it. Re-bait once the bait is picked clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking the tide\u003c\/strong\u003e — Crabs and prawns feed hardest on moving water. Set on the last of the run-in and fish the top of the tide and the first of the run-out, when they move onto flats and mangrove edges. Set deep enough to stay covered at low tide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHauling\u003c\/strong\u003e — One smooth steady lift; a stop-start haul lets crabs find the holes on the way up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease follow your local regulations.\u003c\/strong\u003e Crab and prawn traps are regulated almost everywhere — rules commonly cover minimum catch size, trap numbers, closed seasons, protection of berried (egg-carrying) females, escape gaps and trap marking, and they differ by country, state and waterway. Check the rules for the water you fish, and return undersize and protected animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEntry Holes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoldable Crab Trap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e009358\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoldable Crab Trap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0093512\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright floating rope long enough to cover the depth at high tide, with a marked float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA small mesh bait bag to hold fish frames and chicken pieces in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrab tongs or gloves, and a keeper net or bucket for the catch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SANTEC","offers":[{"title":"8 Holes","offer_id":47520173949099,"sku":"009358","price":4.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 Holes","offer_id":47520173981867,"sku":"0093512","price":5.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2644\/5716\/files\/00935_MAIN_SANTEC_FOLDABLE_CRAB_TRAP_FISHING_NET.jpg?v=1785294065","url":"https:\/\/dcfishing.store\/en-my\/products\/santec-foldable-crab-trap-8-12-holes-fishing-net-trap-cast","provider":"DC FISHING STORE INTERNATIONAL ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
