Just got back from Florida and am I hearing about 15x 20 " base pullup traps ,
Did this pass and does anyone have more info on them? A picture would be nice .

300 sq " plus doors . Guess I'll have to hook up a pot puller on my boat to get them up:D:D

also rings max is 30 inches in diameter

Your still only going to have one crab eating your chicken neck unless you soak your trap longer. Thats the only way a larger trap will help.

Tony-
Here is the link to the COMAR so you know its legal :D

Capn Bruce in North East is already selling them. He calls them the "BIG GUN" trap

I emailed Kevin (Kcrabpots) to see if he was going to make any and he was unaware the law had passed. Still not sure if he will or not.

I have a local guy doing mine.
