Question to the group
 

To all,


My question is which crab pot is better, wired metal or nylon rope over
a metal frame ?.

I have two wired metal round crab pots and have caught plenty of mud
crabs in them, but I have been told the nylon rope over a metal frame
are better because crabs don't like the touch of metal.

I would like to hear from other people about what crabs pots they use
and their results.

All the commercial crab fisherman in Louisiana use metal wire traps.
Recreational usually use a round double ring net that when lifted forms a
sidewall. The nets are usually dipped to increase life.
