new crab trap regs

Hi Guys, I'll be back to Ca. for the weekend of the opener on business, hope to make it out once for crabs. I know this is a hot topic and has been discussed a lot, but wanted to get it straight so I don't  waist time on the mods.
I have a promar tr-102w with the original 4.25" escape rings.
Question: do I need to replace the rings with 5" rings and also use the rotten cotton on the door. (replacing the metal clips)
or is it enough just to replace the metal clips with the cotton on the door. I'm unsure with the wording f/g uses:

fish and game states:
 Crab traps must contain at least one destruct device made from a single strand of untreated cotton twine size No. 120 or less that creates an unobstructed opening anywhere in the top or upper half of the trap that is at least 5 inches in diameter when this material corrodes or fails.

thanks
 

No need to replace the escape ring.

Ken, let's go crabbing.

Will try my best for Sat. Hmb

And if you are too rushed to modify your traps, we can share mine. I will have 5 traps with me.

Thanks Tim!!! 

Btw: anyone know if red crabs are legal on sat. Hmb?
