All three of these pots are 30" pots and are differentiated by their shape. All have top opening hatches. Round pot has three openings for crab entrance and the other two have four entrances. All the entrances have elevated ramps which once inside the pot, it's very difficult for crab to escape. These pots are ideal for long soaks for those who like to drop a pot then fish for a few hours. Great for overnight soaking as well.

SMI #19074 / Stainless Steel Commercial Style Pot

Our popular stainless steel commercial style pot is a great pot for those who want the best. Heavy duty steel with rubber wrapped bottom and stainless steel web make this pot heavy (25 lbs) and long-lasting. Ramp entrances allow for long soaks and half of the top opens up for easy sorting of crab.

Pot Alone: $229.99

Full Kit: $279.99

Crab Rings

Crab rings are most popular for crabbing off piers. Some use these as a way to pass time if anchored up waiting for larger pots to soak. Because these rings sit flat, crabs come and go easily and should be checked about every 15 minutes.

SMI #19052

$23.99

This ring is for those who like rigging their own gear. Simple, basic, but it does the job.

SMI #19053

$54.99

This deluxe ring is heavier gauge steel than the 19051 and has a stainless steel bottom. Pre-assembled with harness and 50' rope. Add a container of bait and you're ready to go.
