@ hell yeah I’m excited! Watched some great videos about using snares in my area. If I real some crabs in with your gear I’ll make a vid and post a shoutout!
I'm looking into getting into crabbing with a snare. What is a good reel to use? I've retired and I am on a fixed income. I will be working on getting these, a little at a time after the new year. crabbing. Love your videos. I am learning a lot before I attempt to snare while my pot is soaking. Thank you.
@@neets458 First of all thank you for watching! We currently have a giveaway where we are raffling off 3 brand new Penn Reels, snares and casting gloves. Check out website for details. We recommend a 10-12ft surf rod medium to medium heavy rating. You want a sturdy rod because you’re tossing a weighted snare with bait which can get quite heavy and has a lot of load on the rod. A frequently used rod for crabbing is the Daiwa Beef Stick, Ugly Stick, or Okuma Crab Special. These rods are about $65-$75 price range. I recently changed from the Daiwa Beef Stick to the Okuma Crab Snare Special. I had to cut off 9” off the handle because it was too long and very uncomfortable to reel where I was hunched over. Went to Home Depot and got a 1” chair end cap to stick at the end of the handle. Now that I modified the length, it’s much more manageable and I love it. For the reel, use a good quality reel medium to large sized reel. When I first started crabbing, I used cheap reels that ended up stripping the gears, breaking the foot of the reel, the handle or cracking the housing. When you are reeling in, you are reeling in the weight of the crab snare, the bait, possibly multiple crabs, and fighting the current. This puts a lot of strain on the gears which result in putting more torque on the handles, overworking the gears, and friction on the foot of the reel which may snap. We recommend PENN brand reels such as Battles, Pursuits or SSMs. We personally use 650-750SSMs because they are full metal housing and interior gears. We can reel up 4 crabs at a time with no problem and will never strip the gears or break the foot of the reel. For the line, you should use a minimum of 30-40lb monofilament line or 60-80lb of braided line. I currently use 80lb of Beyond Braid line. You are throwing very heavy weights so be sure you have adequate line to support the tension, otherwise you will end up snapping your line upon casting or retrieval.
Typically you reel in or check every 3-5 minutes. There is a way to check for crabs by lifting the rod up slightly towards your chest and feel for heavy weight other than the snare. If it's heavy and doesn't want to budge, likely it's a crab on.
@@xueyuan1 highly recommend going with the 12’ft if you’re primarily targeting the surf. That extra couple yards could make a big difference in putting you past the breakers. The 11’ft will work but you’ll have to put in more backbone in your casts.
I slice up chicken drumsticks the night prior and squirt in a bunch of Pro-Cure and shake em' up in a container. I used chicken soaked in Pro-Cure for up to 5 days before but it's extremely rancid but it still works and crabs still eat it. I prefer fresher the better. If Pro-Cure is unavailable, I use a bottle of clam juice that is purchased from a grocery store for $4 a bottle. Clam juice poured into a bucket of raw sliced up chicken works just as good.
We used to catch really nice Flounder off that bridge in the 80's, looks like the crabbin's still good there! Great day, I'll have to order a few of those snares and give it a try!! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, great crabbing.
That’s awesome! I just ordered one and can’t wait to try it!
Awesome, We will ship it out today! Thank you for the support 🙏🏻

That’s the goal! We strive for simple and effective! Thank you for watching :)
Nice catching
Thank you!
I’ve got to get out there soon.
Do it!
Headed there the end of this week. Figured I'd try 12th street or up by the old high school. Might try seaside cove if the surf conditions permit....
@@hexanchus1842 Good luck and be safe! 12st street hits probably closer to top of tide
Awesome
Thank you for watching!
What a good day you guys had. What pro cure is the crabs favorite?
@@oregoncoastdunerunner9387 We used the Crab & Shrimp Attractant version
@@Durasnare Thanks
What pro cure product are you using? Do you use different scents and what would cause you to do that if so? Thanks
We used the Pro-Cure Crab & Shrimp Attractant. Link is in the video description! Soaking it overnight yields best results
Thanks! Got a set up for Christmas and excited to try it! Cheers, great day crabbing in this video!! 👍

I was born in seaside...the necanicum always has lots of crabs at high tide,..
A LOT OF CRABS!
Where did you get your crab series rods? I’m looking for a pair of those.
Lincoln City Bi-Mart
do you think Okuma 11' is little bit shorter if casting on beach?
@@xueyuan1 highly recommend going with the 12’ft if you’re primarily targeting the surf. That extra couple yards could make a big difference in putting you past the breakers. The 11’ft will work but you’ll have to put in more backbone in your casts.
@@Durasnare thank you very much, just ordered one 12' Penn Heavy, go crabbing!
Been there 100s of times
How how how how
Is that the 12' or the new 13' Okuma Crab Special?
This is the 11ft model
@@Durasnare right it was 11' and now they have a 12'
@@bobmarshall8777Yah I saw! Really helpful for snaring off the beach along the coast to get that extra distance
I brought my pole last time I was there but the rain was going sideways so no snaring.
How long for the wait time? I do 10 mins
We check ever 3-5 minutes at this location before pulling up. You don't want to wait too long because your bait will get cleaned out.
How do you make your presoak.?

@@Durasnare Is there a specific pro cure scents/flavor you use to soak?

And here I thought those snares were a gimmick.
We're glad we were able to convince you 😉 We have several more videos of limits that will be released shortly
I caught crabs there once…only once because they were eating human turds in the surf🤢
We heard about that! Especially during the storm surges which overflow the wastewater 😱
@ I didn’t think about that before but you are right, the water runoff was high at that time
