The 52 page book, Oregon's Crabs, describes the cyclical movement of crabs from our bays, identifies the most productive baits and the most innovative and productive methods used to trap crabs from Oregon's Coastal waters using crab pots, crab rings, crab snares and the most effective Crab Max folding crab trap. The book describes innovative methods to humanly clean and cook crabs. My family looks forward to preparing the recipes in the book each time we go crabbing especially when the catch includes Oregon's native red rock crabs.

The book is unique because it not only describes Dungeness crabs it also describes Oregon's native red rock crabs. Click HERE to order Oregon's Crabs for $12.70 or the Crab Max folding crab trap and the other fine products we sell.

Folding crab traps 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 traps like the Crab Hawk, Sporty Crab Trap and the Danielson Folding Crab Trap. 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 trap is small enough to cast 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.

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 to take 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 for me and my wife while we camped at nearby Eel Lake at Lakeside.

Crabbing with the Crab Max using hand lines is user friendly for crabbers of all ages; especially women and children. It is easier for women and children to use the hand line. My grandsons, Brandon age 11 and Zac age 8, have really gotten into crabbing using the Crab Max with hand lines. Bill
