WTB big heavy-butt commercial crab trap.

[Rain City]

Just looking for a couple but something heavy. I pulled one up once that some dickhead set over my set and I could barely lift it. I'd like something like that. Maybe 32" diameter round? That's what fits through my rails for storage.

You can hit some nice heavy current deep spots in the outer harbour with those tanks, marked some commercial guys way out towards qa

Trying to avoid the high traffic areas. Switching up my tactics a little this year.

Brutus. It lifts my prawn gear which is over 50lb a set.

My buddy fishes two commercial crab traps per string and his Scotty puller drags them up no problem. Your Brutus should do better. No problem there. He fishes fairly shallow though. Not sure how much of a difference that would make.

I got commie crab traps and the Brutus pulls them up no problem.....

Ace also has a small diameter pulley if your pulling really heavy traps. Cost me 30$ plus shipping

I just went with the 30" stainless ladners. They're 11 pounds. I might add a bit of weight. I realized the "small" commercial ones are like 60lbs!! Too big.

I figured these were a vast improvement from my old ones. Plus the better half was starting to question my sanity. Valid.
