Put bait in the cage, cast, and let the snare settle on the bottom. When you're ready, reel in slowly and steadily so the loops tighten. Measure every crab with the gauge, and follow your local size limits, bag limits and license rules.

  • Crab Snare Kit, 2, 3 or 4 Traps: Each kit includes castable 6-loop crab traps, 1 crab gauge, 1 casting glove and replacement loops. The gauge checks legal size on the spot and the glove protects your casting finger. Just add bait, a fishing rod or pole and line.
  • 6 Loops Around a Weighted Bait Cage: Six stiff loops stand open around the bait cage, giving crabs six ways in. Cast it from your fishing rod or pole, let it soak on the bottom, then reel in with smooth, steady tension so the loops draw closed on the crab's legs. Keep the line tight all the way up.
  • Dungeness, Rock, Red and Blue Crab: Built for West Coast crabbing from Bay Area piers to Oregon jetties and Puget Sound docks, where it targets Dungeness and red rock crab. It also works for blue crab off Gulf and Atlantic piers. Fish it from a pier, jetty, dock, beach or surf. No boat, no bulky pot, no rope to haul.
  • Lead-Free, Light and Easy to Cast: 16-gauge vinyl-coated steel wire cage with a lead-free 2 oz weight, about 5 oz total, so it casts smoothly off a standard rod without arm fatigue. The bait cage measures about 4 x 2 x 1 inches, excluding the loops, and fits in a tackle box or backpack. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use.
  • Made in San Francisco, Patent Pending: Designed and made by crabbers at AirFly in San Francisco. The 6-loop design is patent pending, and every trap is backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Crabbing seasons, size limits and gear rules vary by state, so check your local regulations before you go.

The AirFly Crab Snare Kit has everything a crabbing trip needs except the rod, line and bait: 2, 3 or 4 castable 6-loop crab traps, a crab gauge, a casting finger glove and replacement loops.

How it works: six stiff loops stand open around a weighted bait cage. Load the cage with bait such as squid, chicken or fish scraps, close it, and cast it from a pier, jetty, dock, beach or surf. Let it soak on the bottom while crabs climb in to reach the bait, then reel in with smooth, steady tension so the loops draw closed on their legs. Keep the line tight all the way up.

Where it works: designed and made by crabbers at AirFly in San Francisco, it targets Dungeness and red rock crab along the California, Oregon and Washington coast, and blue crab on Gulf and Atlantic piers. No boat, bulky pot or rope required.

Built to last: each trap has a 16-gauge vinyl-coated steel wire cage and a lead-free 2 oz weight, about 5 oz total, so it casts easily from a standard rod. The bait cage measures about 4 x 2 x 1 inches, excluding the loops, and fits in a tackle box. The 6-loop design is patent pending and backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Care and rules: rinse with fresh water and let it dry after saltwater use, and replace worn or bent loops with the spares included. Crabbing seasons, size limits and gear rules vary by state, so check your local regulations before you go.
