Before Christmas someone decided they like my stainless trap more than me and it was heisted in the Alberni inlet. Going to buy a new one so looking for recommendations

Looks like the one that was heisted... had it for about 7 years...sold out tooSuper Crab Trap
Super Crab Traps are 28" stainless steel round commercial grade traps made by a local supplier. These traps are made for the serious recreational crabber! Traps come with 2 large door openings, strong bungy cord/rot string and a 5lb Zinc weight. ALL materials used in making these traps are...westcoastfishingtackle.ca
They sell them at Canadian tire too I believe .Looks like the one that was heisted... had it for about 7 years...sold out too
I also had one identical to that stolen a few years back. Those smaller high-end ss traps are very popular with the scumbag thieves.Looks like the one that was heisted... had it for about 7 years...sold out too
Thanks for the info, but I was much south of there.I’m not sure where you were crabbing but there are around 5-8 floats sitting at China creek right now. My guess is they have all been set either near Franklin or Cous, the current got them and they have drifted into China creek. They are all smaller floats . Just thought I’d throw it out there incase maybe the large outflows from the rivers got yours.
Have tried cheap traps and commercial traps with the same bait on a string and the commercial traps always out fish the cheaper traps. Most likely due to the door design allowing less escapement.I don't bother with higher end traps as they don't catch more crabs per se, they just last longer. But with all the theft out there, unless you are going to watch your traps all the time (not too practical for crabbing, I say just go with the cheaper coated wire traps, less likely to be stolen and if they are less expensive to replace. Sad, but true.
