Which one is the best non-commercial crab trap?

The one most use is the blue coloured one that folds up, probably about $25 at most places.

You're asking for the best?
Then it's the round S/S sport trap from http://www.ladnertraps.com
"Sport Crab Traps
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 inch Rigid Crab-
all stainless construction
no mild steel to cause rust stains on your deck
modelled after our commercial trap with no corners cut
only the size and weight are different so that they are more manageable for the individual user with no need of any winch or pot puller to get them up to the surface
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Folding Crab
all stainless - no rust or corrosion
round like the commercial trap with similar styled tunnel entrances
folds in half for easy storage
reassembles quickly and efficiently
dimensions: setup - 30" diameter x 10" tall collapsed - just a 30" semicircle "

only problem- you will eventually lose them. That will get expensive.
I buy X commercial traps from fishermen. usually pay 20-25 bucks a piece. Don't feel quite as bad when they get stolen.
They are heavy but thats probably a deterant to some thiefs. I've taken a grinder to some and removed the rebar. That makes them a lot lighter.

I have had lots of non-commercial, in expensive, crab traps, the best are the ones that look like boxes, and have doors that open and close using plastic tube hinges, the rest of the trap is composed of coated wire. - that way it does not corrode over time.
Good luck.[8D]
