SNOODED TROT LINES - With all of these options, what's the difference?

  PROS   CONS
#5
Main Lines
It's inexpensive.   It's the line of choice for the beginning or occasional recreational crabber, it's made from nylon and will not rot and will last for years.   If you are not careful when you are baiting, or bringing in back in from the water, the loops in the lines will turn into knots.
#8
Solid Braid
Cheaper than the 3 strand, and stays soft, easy on the hands when you pull line in, less likely to knot up than #5, if a loop develops usually all you have to do is shake it out.
  None.  It's a good all around line.
3
strand nylon
The "Cadillac" of all lines and also the most expensive, but you get what you pay for.  It's been reported with proper care that this line will last 20 years and if you get a loop in your line when you're letting it out, just shake it out and very rarely gets knotted up. This is also the line preferred by commercial crabbers who use "line winders" because it has great wear resistance.
  Some might say it's the price, but you get what you pay for with proper care this line can last 20 years.
Snoods 1/8" Thinner snoods are more "flexible" and absorb more vibrations resulting in less crabs dropping off your line with more crabs coming to the surface... The bottom line is at the end of the day you will catch more crabs.
  If they snag they will break easier than 3/16" snoods, but are easily replaced using a slip knot.  So buy a extra pack for replacements.
Snoods 3/16" Won't break as easy as 1/8" dia snoods if you get your snood line hung up. That's why most Commercial Crabbers prefer the 3/16" snoods over the 1/8" snoods. They are more durable than 1/8" dia snoods, and work better with line winders.
  3/16" dia being thicker have a little less elasticity than the 1/8" dia snoods, but a lot of recreational crabbers also prefer using them. 
Spacing 6' standard spacing for hand dipping.   4' - used mostly with auto dippers, or young and fast dippers.

SNOODED HAND LINES

Snood lines are not just for Commercial and Recreational crabbers ANYMORE! If you ever used a hand line, you can use a snooded hand line.  It's as easy as 1,2,3…
  1. Unwind the crab line and tie the end with the handle to either your boat, bridge or pier.
  2. Just put a chicken neck in the snoods ,put the snood tight against the neck
  3. and throw the it in the water!

Bait your line by putting a chicken neck in each of the snoods, put the snood tight against the neck and throw the end of the line with the weight in the water. When the line gets tight (the crabs will be feeding on your bait) slowly pull in the line in (hand over hand slowly) until you bring the crab to the surface and dip the crab with your net (it's that easy even your kids will have fun doing it!) And you can even catch more than 1 crab at a time (because each 15' line comes with 2 snoods). You can have your own snooded hand line to use on your boat or from any pier or bridge.

12' Snooded Hand Line

Item #135

The 12 snooded hand line is perfect for family fun. Use it by connecting it to your boat or your favorite pier or bridge. Each 12' snooded line comes with 2 snoods, 2 oz weight, and a PVC handle.
