My DIY crab snares

[DIYLureJunky]

Can't do anything outside today, crazy storm. So, I finished up some snares. I've already pre-made some cages, I just added the loops to finish it.

Those look pretty good.

Thanks mav. It should last me for awhile.

For a DIY project, would you mind telling me best places where I can get those blue nylon strings and tightening fittings (like those shown in your pixs.) needed to form loops for the crab snare units. I couldn't find them at Home Depots, Lowes', and other local hardware stores... Many thanks!

I got them at Orchard Supply. They are no longer around. It's Craftsman trimmer line .065" diameter.

Thanks a lot again for the detailed info. Will chase down those items for some DIY projects during this Corona Virus stay-home period.

Stay safe & sound !
