Thanks Bro. Love the Bay Area crabbing seen. I've learn a lot from visiting SF and just talking to peeps on the beach. Just trying to make more popular in Oregon. I've seen some of your youtube stuff too. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Bro. Only thing I would add is mesh to keep bait longer in the cage especially shad and squid. Marinated Chicken wings is an alternative with own concoction.
Wonderful presentation my friend. Thank you for the many tips on how to DIY in making this crab fishing device. With your step-by-step process, i was able to make it without any problem. I made half a dozen of it and just go out for the final test. God bless
an outstanding video, especially since we're beginning to make our own snares. Where did you find the brass(?) ring and hook units to close the bait cage with? All we can find are screw hooks!
Would you post some pictures and a little more detail on the lead mold? It looks like you use two 1/2” drywall pieces, how deep is the lead cavity? Great video and thank you!
Just subbed to your channel. Thank you for this has helped me make my own traps. You have nice contents and I enjoy watching your adventures. God Bless and be safe!!!
Thank you for taking the time to support my channel. I'm glad the content helps people get outdoors. Crabbing season in CA just started November and I saw Pacifica Pier so crowed on opening day. GL this season 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@BackFishing My wife and I went last Saturday and we caught 4 at the Ocean Beach. We got there early before 6 a.m. there were about 6 cars in the parking lot. By 10 the parking lot was full. Everybody was out there. Lol
Good videos! I have been making my own snares for a long time and watch everything I can about making them. I have borrowed several other people's methods over the years. Example would be, I use the twinkie bait cage I learned from Scorpion Tubes channel and the loops I learned from Joy of Livings loops. Now I see things I will use from your snares too. I do minor mods but they are all pretty much alike. I like your ideas of mounting the molds too. I even have a mold made from clay then fired.Thanks for the info and lessons!
That's awesome. Sorry for late response but your on the right path. I love Joy of Living and Scorpion tube. Little mods help to make it them better. Cheers!
@@BackFishing I also saw that the only problem is the only thing they sell is cages already built that has that wire on it. They don’t sell just wire as far as I read. Thank you anyway.
@@ricksiewert8035 Just use the 1" x 1/2" 16 gauge. Only drawback is crabs can get at the bait easier and steal it. Leave the snare shorter period of time if the crabs are active. GL
Great video and info. One quick question if you will please? Do you mean , "1/16" aluminum wire ferrules? You stated 1/13". Thank you. Your video is much appreciated.
I'm glad your trying it out. It's super gratifying when you catch one on your gear you make. Way better than store bought snares as you can become creative and customize your own. 🤙🏽
@BackFishing yes I just seen that my bad. I'm having trouble finding the 1/2 x 1/2 16 gauge mesh can you point me to a place i can purchase it? Thanks man
@@robertestrada8283 If you can't find it at local hardware store or farm and feed store, you will have to order it online somewhere. I know Amazon has them but you have to order way too much material. GL
I'd be interested in buying one or two from you. I live north of you on the Long Beach Peninsula. I think I read somewhere you live in Oregon? What part of Oregon? It's not something I'll do often so I don't really want to gear up to make one or two. And they don't sell a good quality crab snare in this area. Do your monofilament snares stand upright (vertical) when your snare (cage) is sitting on the bottom of the ocean or bays? All the snares they sell here locally at the retail stores, the mono snares just lay flat on the sand which seems inefficient to me. I know some people that catch crab with them...but I think a person might do better with verticle snares?
The loops stand upright and do not lay flat. The cages come in two styles with poured weight into the cage and none weighted. I didn't think to sell them but I might be interested. Please email me at Imbackfishing@gmail.com to make arrangements.
I actually poured my lead into plaster board/sheetrock spacers I got free from Home depot/Lowes. I just carved the shape I wanted. Good for about 10 casts of lead. I have not tried it but people cast bondo, clay, and silicone. The method I used was just the fastest way. GL
@@BackFishing I was just at Lowe's and asked the guy if I could get a couple spacers and he was super rude. I'll try again another time with another employee.
@@BackFishing it is what it is. I'll try again. I made a few cages today. Ordered the rest of the stuff from Amazon. I found a local supplier in Portland with a great price on lead. I'll cut a ton of cloth soon and I'll have a good backup supply.
Thank you. I just used sheet rock I got free from homedepot. They were the spacers for the wallboard/sheetrock. Doubled it up and carved the desired shape of the weight held by sheet rock screws. Put the the cage on top and poured the lead weight.
@@deerphoria4314 Lead would burn the wood. You might get a few but I'm sure the wood will burn. The plaster board is pretty easy and would last at least a dozen.
You are so welcome. Glad you were able to follow the content. Good luck with the snares. I'm sure you'll get into some crabs. They are delicious. My next video will show "Roasted garlic crabs", I was impress with the results. You'll have to try it when you get your crabs. 🤙🏽🦀
I was looking over your materials list. Is 1/13 ferrule accurate? I can’t find them anywhere. Great tutorial. I want to make a few of these for a couple of friends and myself.
Shonan systems aluminum wire ferrules 1/13" is what I used but 1/8" diameter will do just as long as you can crimp both .065" monofilament/nylon line together. Good luck.
You can go local hardware store. They usually have roll they sell by the foot. Try to find 1/2" x 1/2" and then duplicate the design . I find the crab can't get to the bait as easy. Good luck.
@@villa3446 This part of the video. Written on the white sheet. 1/16 wire ferrules and now I recommend 150 lb mono line for loops targeting Dungeness crabs. ruclips.net/video/OtN80ttxxmM/видео.html

OMG, LOL you are right. I didn't show it. When I was pouring the lead to the cage I had one with the clips on the cover. Thanks for catching it. Sharp eye. 🤙🏼
@@ismaelhuizar6963 Although I'm flattered to sell you the snares may I suggest a couple of guys who sell it in the SF. RUclips guys Scorpiontube712 and The Joy of living. Two good guys in SF. I will be in SF first week of July for 2 weeks if you want to wait. Thanks.
Nice video bro and Thanks for sharing🎣🦀🤙🏽

Hey bro. I just recommended your crab snares since the guy lives in SF who wants to buy.
These are the best snares - because they are flatter than store bought you can cast them farther. Nice Vid!

@@BackFishing That would be amazing to catch some crabs.

Great video and thank you!
Yes, that is correct. Simple drywall. It's 1/4 deep and 3" to 4" long tappered. This is the quickest way to mold the lead from 6 to 10 ounces.

Where did you find the 16 gauge wire. difficult to find?
Local hardware store or Farm and Feed store. Also you can get it on Amazon but they give you too much. GL

HELLO I been looking for 1/13 aluminum ferrules. And can't find them. Did you mean 1/16 ferrules in the description?
1/16" is the size I used. GL
What gage is the wire mesh you use?
I use 16 gauge but I would go with 1/2" wire cloth so crabs can't pick off bait so easy. The specs are listed in the description of the video. GL

Is it possible to keep the lips from closing up? Seems like my lips are always closed
I don't understand your question. What are you referring to in regards to lips?
“Loops” lol😂
Awesome, what size are the crimps for the loops?
1.5mm is good 1/16 inch
WOW what was in that lead? It made your hair grow back on your face......LOL
Thanks for sharing, nice snares
No demonstration on how well it works?
