Don't know. Never caught a crab with that design. I'm guessing crabs would stay away from that trap because of the nylon.


phreezee,

Caught a crab in our 67g that had two cleaner shrimp in it. I think I used either a bud 5"-6" high vase with a narrow neck with the bait at the bottom or a glass with the bait secured to a piece of rock rubble with onion bag. Both traps would be placed at a 45 degree angle against a rock near the crab's hangout.
