Crab fishing tools

Fish, critters, crabs, and anything else picking at your bait will be unable to haul it off leaving you with an empty trap. They are very inexpensive and can be added to nearly any medium to larger sized trap. Someone even took the time to invent an awesome glow in the dark bait cage!

Use these nets and tongs to help grab hard to reach crabs or to catch crabs handing off a trap, line, or bait. There are some items that you just absolutely must have, or you will risk being a crabbing amateur for life.

Just recently I managed to swipe a soft shell crab that was floating by with its mate. I extended my reach with an aluminum crab net and later that day had a tasty breaded sandwich.

It also reduces damage to the fish while removing hooks with its specially designed ergonomic handle. It also comes equipped with two different ends so you can choose between either pulling or twisting your hooks out of your catch, whichever you find easier.

This product does its job efficiently and effectively, making it the perfect solution for anyone who needs to remove hooks from jewelry or clothing without causing damage. Have you ever been in a situation where the fish hook is stuck deep inside the mouth of a fish. With their fishing hook remover set, all these worries are gone. Their product uses degrees surround design which makes removing hooks from any angle possible without dropping off.

In addition to that, they have an added magnet at the bottom of aluminum handles. This allows us to tell slim fishing hooks from line cutters with ease while protecting your hands.

To make it easier for your hands, coated fishing gloves are recommended for handling crabs and for handling the line that you will drop or reel in. Try out a few locations and see which ones work the best. Ask local fisherman for good locations. You can go a whole day without any catches. Be patient and you will be rewarded. With the exception of patience, you can find all of these tools and more at the CrabbingHq store.

They can be useful in securing bait cages to your trap, among other uses. Extra burlap and netting can be used to make a bait pouch with the use of zip ties or rope. You can cut out a square of burlap, add bait to the center, and tie the burlap into a pouch. Being able to make your own bait pouches can save your crabbing day.

Pulling up traps all day can give you some nasty rope burn. Handling crabs can also lead to getting pinched or poked by incredibly sharp legs. Having a pair of heavy duty gloves can protect your hands from any danger. Bring a pair and thank me later. A good pair of boots can really be the difference between a fun day of crabbing and a miserable, cold experience. Check out our review of the most popular crabbing boots on the market!

At many piers, clean bathrooms do not exist, and your hands may be disgusting by the end of the day. Hand sanitizer can help you keep somewhat clean and allow you to safely eat a snack. Make sure you are not dehydrated and hungry, especially if you are crabbing all day.

Rocks can make or break your crabbing experience. In some locations, the surf is very rough, and the waves will bounce your crab trap around, which makes it very hard for crabs to crawl in.
