You stuff the cage with foul smelling bait (we used marinated squid and fresh anchovies). Then you have six loops / snares off the cage.

You have an 11 or 12 ft heavy duty rod. Big ass spinning reel. 40lb test braid. 12 oz weights.

Then you huck that sumbitch out where you think there’s crabs and let it soak 15 minutes or so. When you start to reel you pull back real fast at the start and anything near a loop is gonna get snared. If it feel like you’re snagged, you likely have a crab on.

I had one with two on it this morning. So, 3 lbs of crab. A lb of share and weights. Current. You’re reeling 75 yards of line as fast as you can. It’s tiring. I’m gonna be sore tomorrow.
