Excellent crab pot
Date:
This pot is so popular - everybody will check it for you....
The only bad thing about these pots is that the elastic will eventually loose its holding power. That is easily fixed with tie wraps.

A great beginner's setup
Date:
The last time I worked with crab pots was probably about 30 years ago when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I really had no idea what I needed to crab, but it looked easy enough. This looked like a nice kit and after some research, I found they were Alaska legal, so I bought to and had them shipped to a relative in Alaska for my fishing trip.
The kit comes with everything you need. It comes with the pot, a bait cage, 100 feet of rope, a pot harness, a rope weight, a buoy, and a crab gauge. The only thing that needs to be done is to tie the rope to the harness (the harness is aleady tied to the pot), fill it with bait, and throw it overboard. The pot closes with a hook connected to a small bungee cord and cotton twine (important in Alaska).
I only think there is room for improvement on two aspects of the kit. First, the rope does not coil well at all. The rope has "memory" and more often than not, it winds tightly and prevents coiling the rope in a nice manner. This necessitates pulling the rope out completely and stretching it before coiling it (personally, I just pulled the rope out of the pot backward, starting with the buoy and throwing it on the floor of the boat. The line would stay clear when I set the pot). I would definately pay another $10 if they used a better quality rope.
Second, the crab gauge only goes up to 6.25 inches. The legal minimum in SE Alaska is 6.5 inches.
Overall, this is a nice set up. If you are new like me, it has everything you need to start crabbing. They were easy to bait, easy to set once I got past the rope problem, and easy to open and clean. The pots are easy to pull, even for an overweight desk jockey like me (who hasn't exercised since Clinton was President). Even better, if you suspect someone is stealing your crab, it is easy to tie down the closing hook with a wire tie, string, or wire to see if someone is opening the pot while still staying legal.
I highly recommend this set up.

Overall great product
Date:
I took this pot out for the first time the weekend right off the rocks in a jetty. It was full of rock and dungeness crabs! The only complaint is that the bait lid didn't stay closed. Otherwise, it's great
