Now that Crab season is over, I would like to buy some Crab Gear (if possible On Sale)  like Crab Traps, Leaded Line. Could some one recommend me a store with a good variety of this items?
Thank you in advance for your help.

You might try Dick's Sporting Goods.  I know the one in Daly City still has a bunch of crab gear.  Maybe the Dick's in your area can transfer between stores?  Otherwise, just wait until the start of the season... stuff goes on pre-season sale.

Otherwise, keep checking the classifieds and CL.

If you ever make it down to HMB, HMB Tackle has all the best traps and rope in stock, and you are supporting a non-chain store. Their prices are always fair and their employees are not afraid to spill their vast knowledge.

Take a look at the Promar collapsible traps.  I love these things.  I use 2 and one set of rings.  The trap doors are pretty large, and they flatten down pretty good.  Definitely go with the leade line like you were sayin!  I tried the yellow floaty crap my first time out.... Nothing but hassle.  Always knotted up and gets caught up in boat props!
