Overview
A collapsible crab trap made from PVC-coated wire, sold as a single black trap sized for blue crab, matching the folding blow boy style common to Chesapeake-area crabbing.
Traps in this collapsible ring style lie flat on the bottom while baited, then close as they are pulled up, which is the mechanism the CBTVBLOWBOYMARYLAND name refers to. The PVC coating over the wire frame is meant to resist rust in the brackish and saltwater conditions crabbing usually happens in.
- Collapsible PVC-coated wire frame
- Sized for blue crab
- Black finish
- Sold as one trap
Who it's for
Made for recreational crabbers targeting blue crab from a dock, pier or boat with a simple drop-and-pull trap. Not suited to anglers looking for bait storage, despite the category label.
Pros and cons
- Collapses flat for easy transport and storage
- PVC coating resists corrosion in saltwater
- Familiar folding design for blue crab
- Sold as a single trap, not a set
- No bait or line included based on the listed specs
Performance notes
The wire frame folds flat while sitting baited on the bottom, then springs or draws closed as it is lifted, trapping crabs that moved onto the bait plate. The PVC coating over the wire is meant to hold up against corrosion from repeated saltwater and brackish water exposure.
