So far so good! This is a new hobby for me; I did some research and swung into Mazama Sporting Goods, found the Durasnare, took it for a spin on the coast, and to my surprise it produced on the first cast and has become on of my more valued tools of the trade... +plus the support team is super friendly and helpful in answering my questions! -Cam@mcenzieoverland
I’ve used many different snares in the past couple years . I could never find a snare that I could fully trust. Once I tried this durasnare i never had a crab slip through the loops. If you want to get into crabbing or are already into crabbing these are definitely worth the money.
My husband and I spent 3 wonderful weeks on the Oregon coast. After about a week, we decided to give crabbing a try. We bought 2 cages, 3 different types of snares, and a couple of collapsible traps. We felt so overwhelmed. Didn’t know where to start. After talking to several people in a popular Facebook group, we learned about the tide and figured out where to go, and the best time to go. We decided to try using our Durasnare first. We were so happy we did! It was so easy to use and we starting pulling in so many crabs. It was totally exciting. We are hooked! Buy one, or two! You won’t regret it!
I was a fan of the Crabhawk trap because I never saw anyone near me using a crab snare ever catch or bring up a crab. I went to a seminar that Durasnare was holding and was amazed on how well the Durasnare worked! It was easy to fill with bait and toss the snare off the beach into the low tide. It is very exciting to reel in the snare and have 2 crabs caught in the loops. We next used the snare off of the pier and caught crabs with the incoming high tide. If there were crabs in the water, we were bringing them up! I love the fact that the snares are easy to use and there are more places to use the snare compared to crabbing with crab rings. We love using the Durasnare!
You came highly recommended and I wasn't let down. Best snares I have ever used and will highly recommend to anyone.
