Does size matter ???

[Paramedic0633]

When using chicken necks for crabbing, does anyone have an opinion on what size works the best ? I've been using necks of various sizes and it seems like necks around 2" seem to work the best. Any opinions ??

2" is MAX for me, I like um about 1.5"

Depends how you are crabbing. Trot line is best with smaller baits. 1 1/2 to 2 inches. With traps I use bigger baits. 3-5 inches.........Gary

2" is best that way its hold good as well.

Maybe you should go crabbing with me. My wife always complains about size: "That bait is just too big"

Like a tuna can LMAO I heard your 2 inches from the ground.... Layin on your stomache LMAO

That one may get me the boot. Good thing it's crabbing season ;-)

Crabs like to pull their food under them while feeding to protect the food from other crabs. A large bait can't be hidden well and in my experience smaller (1-2") pieces of neck work better. I have tried really large necks (6-7") and they do not catch nearly as well as the smaller baits.

OMG brings a whole new meaning to dipper LMAO

1" to 2" for chicken necks has worked well for me in my ctpx. I use a little bigger peice for handlines.

Although once I did tie a blue fish center onto a handline and was pulling up 3-5 crabs at once each time. That was a while ago though. I was crabbing under the old wooden RR swing bridge that used to cross the Severn.

Cadavers catch a lot of crabs too.
