Abstract:
A crab trap manufacturing method that decreases production time, lowers cost and provides a safer trap. The trap wire is pre-cut in the proper dimensions. Two larger pieces are bent into a square U shape to form the main body. A baffle piece for the inside of the trap is cut through the middle and the edges are bent. A bait box is attached to the baffle. The baffle and bait box are placed inside the body and the edges of the baffle are connected to the body. The two bent pieces forming the body are then connected to each other. Entrances are made in the side walls of the body and funnels are installed in each hole. Since the wire to make the trap is pre-cut, the traps are easily and quickly constructed, therefore production costs are lowered and production time is reduced.
