These are easy to use. They are strong. Have caught a lot of crabs with these snares. They come with extra loops to replace any worn out ones. We have lost some when they get caught on sharp rocks and the line is cut or when they are not tied onto the line correctly and the go flying when casting. AirFly is the only ones I use and have been using them for 3 years.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the shoreline, I found myself knee-deep in saltwater, anticipation bubbling like the frothy waves around me. The AirFly Castable Crab Trap lay in my hands—a compact companion ready to unlock the secrets of the ocean floor.The Unveiling:The trap’s design was unassuming yet purposeful. Its sturdy construction promised longevity, a silent pact between me and the crabs that would soon venture into its loops. I imagined their curious claws exploring the squid baits, drawn by the irresistible scent—a feast waiting to unfold.A Dance with the Tides:I cast the trap, its loops unfurling like a spider’s silk, sinking into the depths. The self-opening mechanism held its ground, defying the currents. Each loop stood tall, a sentinel waiting for its quarry. I watched, heart racing, as the trap settled on the sandy seabed.Whispers of the Sea:The beachgoers nearby exchanged knowing glances. Some had their own traps, worn and weathered, bearing the scars of countless crabbing adventures. We were a tribe—a fellowship of crab enthusiasts—drawn together by the promise of clawed treasures.The Squid Baits:Ah, the squid baits! Suspended within the cage, they swayed gently, like underwater lanterns. Their scent wafted, mingling with the salt-laden breeze. I wondered if the crabs could sense the feast awaiting them. Perhaps they whispered secrets to one another: “Follow the scent, my friends. The AirFly awaits.â€A Bounty of Crabs:As the tide receded, revealing hidden nooks and crannies, the trap yielded its bounty. Dungeness crabs, their shells a mosaic of earthy hues, scuttled into view. Blue crabs, feisty and determined, clung to the loops. Rock crabs, their spiky carapaces a testament to resilience, joined the party. And the elusive Red crabs—scarlet jewels of the sea—peeked out, as if daring me to catch them all.Conclusion:The AirFly Castable Crab Trap became more than a tool; it was a vessel for stories. Each loop held a memory—the thrill of the catch, the camaraderie of fellow crabbers, and the salty kisses of the ocean. So, dear reader, when you cast your own trap, remember this review—a whisper from one crabber to another: “May your loops be full, your baits enticing, and your adventures as boundless as the sea.â€For more information, visit the product page.

I have been catching blue claw crabs for 60 years and have always done it the old way. Initially fish heads tied to a line that you hoisted up slowly and hoped your net helper was ready and then using box and pyramid style traps. We also long net poles them off of the piers at the docks when we could get away with it. So when I saw this I had to get one.My first take was how small it is. It is about the length from my thumb to the end of my fingers. See picture. The bait basket is so small that all that will fit is a small chicken wing or cut piece of fish. They give dried pieces of bait in the box which is really a great idea since it is so easy to carry and no stink or mess. Okay so crabs are attracted to the bait, no real leap of technology there but the use of what I’ll call snare loops to entangle the crab legs, claws and shells is really unique. The second leap is that it is lightweight and tossing it at the end of a stout fishing pole is really possible. I doubled that when I ordered it but now that I have it in hand I can easily see tossing it 100 feet or more. I toss 4-6 ounce sinkers and 6-10 inch long lures all the time so “casting†this will be easy.What remains to be seen is if it will catch crabs. Where I live, blue claw crabs are the only ones consumed and that season has not started yet. I’m still not sure if retrieving the cast out trap isn’t going to be such a violent affair that the caught crabs don’t have their legs and claws ripped of during by the rocks and seaweed during the retrieval so you are left with only a shell. That won’t cut it for me. But wow, the possibility that I can easily carry a few crab traps in my fishing gear backpack is just so intriguing! Can’t wait for the blue claw season to get going. And made in the USA! Great to see that!
