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
Let you know how they work in Coos Bay as soon as it is able to
Great snare. Best one I’ve used for durability. My wife and I always get our share and often out fish other fisherman!
I went out yesterday, Wednesday November 7th and crabbed from my inflatable kayak for 5 hours using my folding traps at Saltwater State park and caught three Red Rock. I decided to pack up and head up to the Des Moines Pier just mile north in Puget Sound. In two hours using these snares I caught two more Red Rock and two Dungeness. Also Lawrence from Durasnare happened to be at the pier on his PNW tour and is just a great guy providing bait for folks and tips on how to use these snares. Finally, snaring crabs is just a lot of fun. I am definitely recommending these snares to friends. Thanks to Durasnare for making such a great product! Crab on!
I’m very new to crabbing, this being my first year to work snares from the beach. I knew I needed to get snares so I started buying them. The more I learned about them the more I regretted my early decisions and moved on to better and better snatchers. The Durasnares are designed really well, and they’re well built. They’re very functional and I had success with them on opening day!
What separates Durasnare from other snare manufacturers is their willingness to roll up their sleeves and work with beginners and provide insight and coaching. When you’re new to something, you look for people that can help you advance quickly so that you don’t make avoidable mistakes. The folks at Durasnare are such people.
I had countless stupid questions and they kept providing me with timely and insightful guidance that really steepened in the learning curve for me so that I could be effective on day one.
It wasn’t like dealing with a company. It was more like dealing with a friend. I was given coaching on everything from how to work snares to why I should always make sure I wear waders. It was like I had someone looking out for me.
Along with making a truly great set of snares, these people are true ambassadors to the sport of crab snaring. They really doing everything they can to expand membership to the sport, and I for one feel that I should support them.
Obviously buying a snare doesn’t put crabs in the bucket, but these people will do everything they can to make sure that the snare you do buy ends up getting you some Dungeness crabs. They’re truly a great outfit.
