Anyone have interest in crab snares?  For casting?  I recently acquired a bunch of fishinig equipment amongst which are snare bodies.  I'll complete the snare constructions if there's interest out there keeping only a couple for myself.  Crabs are not very available from the surf in Monterey Bay....

If so, what is a fair price for them?  If there's enough interest via NCKA, I'll construct.  I have about 20 of them.

thanks

I might be interested in a couple.  Just got a 12ft rod and looking to cast something with it  :smt044  Few friends of mine are into snaring off the piers and jetty's, wanted to join them sometime. How do you mean construct them?  Are they just the cages and loops, or is there weight as well?

I would be interested in some snares. My father-in-law has been wanting to take my nephew out to learn about fishing.

Okay, then.  guess I'm making some crab snares this week.  Chap ones online are around $10, 'custom made' ones are around 20.  You guys think $15 is fair?  I plan to include heavy snaps and 3 or 4 ounce pyramid weight, and heavy swivel/leader/swivel.
