first time user, do not understand how it works for catching crab. The bobber will make it standstill in the sea water?

I use them for lobster, the first bobber or buey is just to keep the rope that connects to the rings floating up high enough from the ring so that the rope doesn't get in the way of the crab or lobster walking on to the ring, you can search "hoop netting" on youtube for live shots of other folks using them, right now I have decided to change to the Promar Hoop Nets, check them out too..

The bobber is suppose to slide up as a marker in the water,it should not hold it up! Hope this helps, it should slide up your line in the water and let you know where it is!!!

It's designed to tie to your line and cast it out, buttttttt it has not worked past about 10 feet out for me and when I'm fishing with a bobber like this I cast out quite a ways, I have been using it with my small aluminum boat and it works fine.

Yes. The bobber will float to the surface and the yellow color will help you find it. Remember the bobber will be up and te camera down when floating.

This one seems to baffle everyone who uses this RC boat. It will not work until it is in the water. That is the answer I believe you are looking for. Yup, you have to stick it in the pool or tub.

The Bobber offers a higher visibility color for easy spotting when floating in the water. Bobber has a rubber grip, the Handler has a foam grip. Bobber also has 1/4 20" threaded hole at the bottom to attach to tripods, includes a safety leash, carabiner and high torque thumbscrew. The handler includes a safety leash and tool to tighten your thumbscrew (thumbscrew not included) Both float. You can also check out this video of Bobber here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az3xE75mUNQ

I have only used this trap fro crayfish. But, generally any rotting meat: on old BBQ chicken leg is ideal of Crayfish. I would guess the same of crabs. BTW: this trap will NOT work for dungeness crab: it needs holes to let the below size ones out to be legal (here in California).

I haven't tested it in sand, however the spikes that dig into the ground are sharp. Depends on how much sand....it may work better in sand than mud, as the weight of the vehicle would help to keep the strip under the wheel; The trick is to get these strips out as soon as you are stuck. If you are on the beach and tide has risen up to your axle (I have seen this), it might be difficult to get the strips properly placed under wheel, and the water would add "slipperiness" to the rescue process. The strips have some weight, probably would not float away.

I am sorry Robert H. but I purchased this for a hunting friend. He loves it, but I personally do not know anything about how it works. So Sorry not to help you.

I've used it on jigs as well as just a hook instead of live bait and always run it tail in the up position. In either case run the hook dead center through the front of the body, running it through the body and out the upper back. I've killed fluke with these

The opening runs all the way across the front of the trap and is just an open slit in the netting, no doors or reinforced area. No, it does not have any cull rings or rotten cotton releases either. I'm not sure what states it is legal for crab in but not CA OR or WA as far as I know. Defiantly NOT legal except for crayfish in CA. (I managed to talk my way out of a citation only because the CDF warden had seen me around a lot and knew I respected him) It can be be made legal with very little work and expense or just buy the bigger trap with the legal features.

I use my St Croix Triumph spinning rod fishing for perch out on lake erie! The rod is very senitive. You can feel the perch when they just mouth the bait.lift the rod and you have your fish.also very strong when you hook a sheephead!

We only used it for blue crabs and it worked fine. We were pleasantly surprised that it worked given its collapsible feature.

yes it does...the wireless one works best when fishing from shore, you can use it as a bobber...the suction cup transducer is used from a boat...I have this unit, works best for me with the suction cup transducer...I really very rarely use the wireless transducer.

It seems to do good in saltwater flats using saltwater soft baits and top water poppers. I use a 12lb test it also has a stiffer tip for fishing with heavier baits. I like the rod.

Thats what I bought it for and it works great. As with anything used in salt water, be sure to rinse it good with clean water at the end of the day. I have thrown lures as heavy as 7ozs. and the rod performs well.

mine didnt come with anything but real easy to use , just pull the line out to where you want and slide the lock bar down and poof it is done , attatch the line and hook etc you want on end and put where you want to fish and when a fish tugs on hook and line it releases the lock bar and retracks setting the hook

Roger! If you are a fisher, you are in luck. If not, you are about to be. This thing has a thread that runs down the middle of it. This seems to be a small problem. If you tie it directly to the beam, it will twist up, get small, and pop like a multi part ballon. Take some fish line, and a leader. Tie the balloon spinner to your leader. That way it holds it's form even in a good cat. 3 wind. Tried it on an Air traffic control tower, and at 40 Knots it did well. bill
