Remember the Flex Fold crab trap? We took our video camera into Fisheries Supply, one of our favorite marine stores in Seattle, and tried out the exciting, flexing, folding action. Actually, this is a really nice accessory to keep on your boat for occasional crabbing. By no means the cheapest, but probably the best folding crab trap we’ve seen. Enjoy!
Okay. Well, I posted this, and then discovered that Mark Philbrook, inventor of the Flex Fold trap, posted a very thorough demonstration on YouTube a couple weeks back. And it’s a little embarassing…because we obviously didn’t RTFM, or one might say WTFV (Watch the Flipping Video). His video shows some details that are nice to know if you’re going to get one of these babies.
