I'll let you know for sure in the middle of the month. Gonna get 10 peeler pots there. Marshall's quoted me 17 bucks each, 10 or more. I would rather get them from Dick but they don't take the CC I need to use.  |

How is vinyl coated wire? I know there is less of a chance of scratching the boat (or yourself), but I read somewhere where vinyl can give off a chemical or something that can spook the crab. Is that true?

I've put unpainted, black vinyl hex and unpainted galv hex side by side off of my pier - galv catches more. That's just my experience, somebody else may be different. |

Why hex wire? Why not square? Why black instead of red or green? What's braced? Rebar!
What brand Riverdale or Shepard?
$23 red 4 funnel riverdale 12 mesh high.

Stiff wire is hog ringed around the pot to make it stiff. |

Small mesh? Mine are 7 mesh high (big mesh). Here on the shore they call the re-bar(irons) "frames". |

I use 3/8". It's bent in a square to match the bottom of the pot. The ends are welded. 1/2" with 2 zinc's makes the pot to heavy for me.
