Blue Crab Trap 5 Kit Pack
Due to the large cubic volume, shipping costs are higher than the cost of a finished blue crab pot. Your solution is Ketcham's  U_BUILD EM "kit pack" of 5 blue crab traps (2 finished kit trap photos at left).  We  sized the kit traps slightly smaller at 18 X18 X 24 than the than the standard commercial trap to maximize your savings on shipping costs.  We have however maintained the same fish-ability.  All the wire pieces are pre- cut to size, all your necessary fasteners, parts, and needed hand tools are in your kit. The 5 kits ship at less cost than the charges for sending out 1 finished trap plus you save by doing it yourself.  Instructions included.
