Simply stated, "The Crab Max Crab Catcher made from stainless steel and other high quality materials is the Best folding crab catcher on the market today bar none."

Folding crab catchers are a recent innovation that is changing the face of crabbing from crab docks or the sandy shore. Compared to crab pots and crab rings the Crab Max with hand line is the most cost effective method to catch a limit of crabs from the crabbing dock or the sandy shore. We recommend using the Crab Max with the hand lines over any other method when crabbing from a dock or from shore. The pink or white hand line shown above is attached to the barrel swivel on the Crab Max with a cross lock snap on the hand line. However, some crabbers especially men prefer to use a surf rod when crabbing with the Crab Max crab catcher. Using a Crab Max with a hand line is easier for women and kids to crab than using other method. My grandsons love the crabbing action that their Crab Max crab catchers provide.

Crab Catch Capacity is the measure that separates the Crab Max from other folding crab catchers. The 18 inch dimension really pays off when crabbing is hot as shown in the video clip of crabbers on the beach at Siletz Bay. The crab catcher is small enough to cast 100 plus feet from the dock and large enough to hold more than 3 legal sized crabs. It is not unusual to catch 3 or more keeper sized Dungeness crabs per pull.

Crabbing for Dungeness crabs in Yaquina Bay as shown in the photo below avid crabber, Bill Lackner displays two of 14 large red rock crabs he caught crabbing off the Bay Street Pier using a Crab Max folding crab catcher used with a surf rod. Bill caught lots of Dungeness crabs but they were either larger females or males that were 1/4 to 1/16 of an inch too short to keep.
