Frequently asked questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Does line quality really matter on a trotline?

Yes, line quality does matter! Do you ever wonder why some lines have to be “seasoned” to sink, while other lines sink without seasoning? The lighter (cheaper) line starts out with a fiber core and then has a jacket spun around the fiber to make the finished line. In order for the fiber core lines to sink, the fiber core must absorb water to become heavier in order to sink, thus so named “seasoning.”We only sell sinking crab line – Made in the USA.

 

Does Captain Bruce's Crabbing Supplies sell winders?

Yes, we sell a variety of 10″ & 12″ winders. We offer 2 size motors. No matter if you pulling in 1200′ or 5,000′ we have a winder for you. Our winders are the best winders on the market for the money, period!  We can make them for putting in a rod holder too!

What is better topless or box traps?

Topless traps are the ideal choice for recreational crabbers. Unlike traditional box traps, they can be stacked neatly inside each other, saving valuable storage space. This design makes it easier to transport and store multiple traps without taking up unnecessary room, so you can fit more traps on your boat while keeping everything organized and efficient.

What makes Captain Bruce's crab traps different?

Our stackable crab traps are made with stainless steel frames and hardware. Unlike other crab traps made with galvanized frames, our traps will last year and years. They are now available with white or stealth rigging! Some guys have told us they will be passing their traps down to their kids.

Is Captain Bruce's Crabbing Supplies only online?

No, our crab barn is located at 785 Howery Lane North East, MD 21901. Our crab barn is a old horse barn we turned into a crab barn. You can come shop around, look at some products, and get some advice.
