*Many states require crab pots to have turtle excluders installed in each funnel. Additionally, some states have requirements for biodegradable escape mechanisms. When ordering, please specify the state in which these pots will be used in order to assure compliance with local legal requirements.

Vinyl Half Size Crab Pots

Vinyl Half Size Crab Pots1/2 pot is 1/2 the height of a full size crab pot and has no upper chamber. Waterfront owners who are subject to dramatic tides asked for these so they are ALWAYS in the water catching crabs . These half-size pots are made from the same quality vinyl coated wire as our full size commercial crab pots. They are also available in double dip galvanized non-vinyl coated wire.

* Not all state laws and regulations allow the use of half size pots by non-commercially licensed crabbers. Please check your local laws and regulations before purchasing.

Vinyl Live Boxes

Vinyl Live Crab BoxesOur live boxes are made in our shop using only the best U.S. made wire. Each box has an over-sized dump opening, making it easy to put crabs into or take crabs out of the live box. Each box has a bait container to allow bait to be introduced to live crabs, discouraging crabs from eating each other until harvested. We use PVC floatation piping in each of our live boxes to ensure good floatation. These boxes are available in 2 standard lengths: 2 feet and 3 feet. Each box is 11.5 inches deep and 2 feet wide.
