    Just finished watching.
    It was exactly what I was looking for: helpful experienced advice on what it takes to build traps.
    Again, wanted to let you know how much you've helped me and I'm sure many others out there with your efforts.
    Much appreciated,

    Wow! Super informative video. Really appreciate all the pricing and information stuff. Only thing I’m still curious about is the center division part for crabs to go up to the upper level of the trap. but you’ve done a great job and we appreciate it. Also love, love, love all the stuff about being your own boss. Congratulations for you making that transition. I hope you do very well for yourself. God bless you man.

    Awesome job explaining things. You cleared up a lot of questions I had. I am still looking to learn how to create entry doorways and learn how the center divider works. Obviously, they need to be created so they are easy for crab to enter and impossible to exit. I am interested if you used a torch to heat rebar bend points and whether a bench vice was used to bend it. Thanks for teaching us.

    • @crabcartel
      @crabcartel  3 года назад +1

      So you can go to a place called Malone steel and buy them already bent. Just ask for crab trap squares it's already bent rebar 1/2 inch.

  • @underdogoutdoors
    @underdogoutdoors Год назад

    Great video, thank you! I know crabs swim to the top chamber of the pot, is there any way to get them out of the bottom chamber? I don't see any latches at the bottom, to access any crabs that may be down there.

    • @crabcartel

      We just turn the Trap over and shake them through the baffle. Then shake them out the same way.

      In the video you watch I cut it and bend it by hand ✋️ with a pair of hand cutter and use my hand and a 2×4 to bend. But I'm making a video now using different technique so pls stay tuned.
