Abstract:
A linear crab trapping device including a main line with a plurality of individual loops secured thereto in spaced relation with respect to one another and further including a lower end adapted to be in abutment with any particular configuration of bait such that the lower portion of the main line can then be wrapped about the bait to provide the plurality of loops in surrounding engagement with the bait. The upper end of the main line is adapted to be secured to a user or fisherman in such a manner as to facilitate removal of the linear crab trapping device upon entanglement with a crab. A crab upon locating the bait will during feeding thereon become entangled in the plurality of loops surrounding the bait in such a manner as to temporarily be secured with respect to the main line such that removal by the user upon pulling upwardly on the upper end thereof will remove the linear crab trapping device and the entangled crab simultaneously.
