Nice video bro and Thanks for sharing🎣🦀🤙🏽
Thanks Bro. Love the Bay Area crabbing seen. I've learn a lot from visiting SF and just talking to peeps on the beach. Just trying to make more popular in Oregon. I've seen some of your youtube stuff too. Keep up the good work.
Hey bro. I just recommended your crab snares since the guy lives in SF who wants to buy.
These are the best snares - because they are flatter than store bought you can cast them farther. Nice Vid!
Thanks Bro. Only thing I would add is mesh to keep bait longer in the cage especially shad and squid. Marinated Chicken wings is an alternative with own concoction.
Nice video, thanks for sharing your R&D.
Good luck. Appreciate the comment.
WOW what was in that lead? It made your hair grow back on your face......LOL
Thanks for sharing, nice snares
Good videos! I have been making my own snares for a long time and watch everything I can about making them. I have borrowed several other people's methods over the years. Example would be, I use the twinkie bait cage I learned from Scorpion Tubes channel and the loops I learned from Joy of Livings loops. Now I see things I will use from your snares too. I do minor mods but they are all pretty much alike. I like your ideas of mounting the molds too. I even have a mold made from clay then fired.Thanks for the info and lessons!
That's awesome. Sorry for late response but your on the right path. I love Joy of Living and Scorpion tube. Little mods help to make it them better. Cheers!
Thank you!!
You are so welcome. Glad you were able to follow the content. Good luck with the snares. I'm sure you'll get into some crabs. They are delicious. My next video will show "Roasted garlic crabs", I was impress with the results. You'll have to try it when you get your crabs. 🤙🏽🦀
Wonderful presentation my friend. Thank you for the many tips on how to DIY in making this crab fishing device. With your step-by-step process, i was able to make it without any problem. I made half a dozen of it and just go out for the final test. God bless
Love to hear it. I'm glad you were able to follow. Final test would be catching your first keeper. 🤙🏽
@@BackFishing That would be amazing to catch some crabs.
Really like the diagram to go from when cutting the hardware cloth. Thanks
I'm glad your trying it out. It's super gratifying when you catch one on your gear you make. Way better than store bought snares as you can become creative and customize your own. 🤙🏽
Just subbed to your channel. Thank you for this has helped me make my own traps. You have nice contents and I enjoy watching your adventures. God Bless and be safe!!!
Thank you for taking the time to support my channel. I'm glad the content helps people get outdoors. Crabbing season in CA just started November and I saw Pacifica Pier so crowed on opening day. GL this season 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@BackFishing My wife and I went last Saturday and we caught 4 at the Ocean Beach. We got there early before 6 a.m. there were about 6 cars in the parking lot. By 10 the parking lot was full. Everybody was out there. Lol
@@benjobulatao1865 That's enough for dinner for two. Good memories.
Would you post some pictures and a little more detail on the lead mold? It looks like you use two 1/2” drywall pieces, how deep is the lead cavity?
Great video and thank you!
Yes, that is correct. Simple drywall. It's 1/4 deep and 3" to 4" long tappered. This is the quickest way to mold the lead from 6 to 10 ounces.
BackFishing I’m doing backepisodes hahaha
Nice video brother !
Thank you!
I'm not sure that mask restricts anything other than dust. Would e respirator be a better option?
You're right.
I was looking over your materials list. Is 1/13 ferrule accurate? I can’t find them anywhere. Great tutorial. I want to make a few of these for a couple of friends and myself.
Shonan systems aluminum wire ferrules 1/13" is what I used but 1/8" diameter will do just as long as you can crimp both .065" monofilament/nylon line together. Good luck.
Is it possible to keep the lips from closing up? Seems like my lips are always closed
I don't understand your question. What are you referring to in regards to lips?
“Loops” lol😂
Great video 👍🏽 what did you use for to make the mold?
Thank you. I just used sheet rock I got free from homedepot. They were the spacers for the wallboard/sheetrock. Doubled it up and carved the desired shape of the weight held by sheet rock screws. Put the the cage on top and poured the lead weight.
Awesome, what size are the crimps for the loops?
1.5mm is good 1/16 inch
Great video and info. One quick question if you will please? Do you mean , "1/16" aluminum wire ferrules? You stated 1/13". Thank you. Your video is much appreciated.
Yes, "1/16" wire ferrules with 150 lb mono line works the best for me. Let me know if you have any other questions. Glad to help. GL
I'd be interested in buying one or two from you.
I live north of you on the Long Beach Peninsula.
I think I read somewhere you live in Oregon?
What part of Oregon?
It's not something I'll do often so I don't really want to gear up to make one or two.
And they don't sell a good quality crab snare in this area.
Do your monofilament snares stand upright (vertical) when your snare (cage) is sitting on the bottom of the ocean or bays?
All the snares they sell here locally at the retail stores, the mono snares just lay flat on the sand which seems inefficient to me.
I know some people that catch crab with them...but I think a person might do better with verticle snares?
The loops stand upright and do not lay flat. The cages come in two styles with poured weight into the cage and none weighted. I didn't think to sell them but I might be interested. Please email me at Imbackfishing@gmail.com to make arrangements.
HELLO I been looking for 1/13 aluminum ferrules. And can't find them. Did you mean 1/16 ferrules in the description?
1/16" is the size I used. GL
Can we download the pattern somewhere?
The pattern is in this video. Let me know if I can answer anymore questions you may have. GL
Is that drywall you’re sitting the cages in to pour the lead? Awesome video btw!
Yes. simple way.
@@BackFishing can wood be use as a mold? Thinking of using a router.
@@deerphoria4314 Lead would burn the wood. You might get a few but I'm sure the wood will burn. The plaster board is pretty easy and would last at least a dozen.
No demonstration on how well it works?
I have the videos on the channel on how to crab snare.GL
What material are you using for the mold for pouring the lead?
I actually poured my lead into plaster board/sheetrock spacers I got free from Home depot/Lowes. I just carved the shape I wanted. Good for about 10 casts of lead. I have not tried it but people cast bondo, clay, and silicone. The method I used was just the fastest way. GL
@@BackFishing I was just at Lowe's and asked the guy if I could get a couple spacers and he was super rude. I'll try again another time with another employee.
@@billysanborn7911 Sorry you had to experience that. Usually they just throw away those spacers.
@@BackFishing it is what it is. I'll try again. I made a few cages today. Ordered the rest of the stuff from Amazon. I found a local supplier in Portland with a great price on lead. I'll cut a ton of cloth soon and I'll have a good backup supply.
I didn’t see you used the wire cage clips?
I have a few videos on crab snaring. Thank you for watching. Here's a link to one of them. czcams.com/video/lqttKhUYJFc/video.html&ab_channel=BackFishing
OMG, LOL you are right. I didn't show it. When I was pouring the lead to the cage I had one with the clips on the cover. Thanks for catching it. Sharp eye. 🤙🏼
where can I buy the wire cage that you are using?
You can go local hardware store. They usually have roll they sell by the foot. Try to find 1/2" x 1/2" and then duplicate the design . I find the crab can't get to the bait as easy. Good luck.
What size are the wires (gauge) if I may ask
@@villa3446 This part of the video. Written on the white sheet. 1/16 wire ferrules and now I recommend 150 lb mono line for loops targeting Dungeness crabs. czcams.com/video/OtN80ttxxmM/video.html
Nice video I want to buy 2 snares from you Body
Thank you for watching. I wasn't planning on selling but are you local?
Yes I live in San Francisco
@@ismaelhuizar6963 Although I'm flattered to sell you the snares may I suggest a couple of guys who sell it in the SF. CZcams guys Scorpiontube712 and The Joy of living. Two good guys in SF. I will be in SF first week of July for 2 weeks if you want to wait. Thanks.
All right thank you
Lost you on the vaccine.......
Yet found you right here with the rest of us 🤣
