Folding Crab Catchers are a recent innovation that is changing the face of crabbing from crab docks. Crab Catch Capacity is the measure that separates the Crab Max from other folding crab catchers. The 18 inch dimension really pays off when crabbing is hot as shown in the video clip of crabbers on the beach at Siletz Bay.

The folding crab catcher is small enough to cast with a surf rod or throw with a hand line 100 plus feet from the dock and large enough to hold more than 3 legal sized crabs. It is not unusual to catch 3 or more keeper sized Dungeness crabs per pull with the record catch of 5 legal sized crabs taken at Netarts Bay.

Pictured below, it is common to catch up to 3 legal sized crabs at a time when the crabs are in the bays; however, I used only 1 Crab Max with a hand line to catch the 3 legal Dungeness crabs shown below from the Coast Guard Pier in Winchester Bay. Three Dungeness crabs were all I needed to make a wonderful Crab Louie while my wife and I were camped at nearby Eel Lake.

The CRAB MAX is innovative by design and easy to use. The CRAB MAX comes equipped with 100 feet of 200 pound test Tuna Cord hand line or sold individually without hand lines. Compare and consider the difference in the photos below. A 5 gallon bucket, a Crab Max crab catcher and bait versus the wheel barrow and all the other stuff.
