Foldable Reinforced Shrimp & Crab Trap — 8-Sided Umbrella Cage (Auto Open, Portable)

A rigid trap eats deck space; a folding umbrella trap does the opposite — it springs open in one motion when it hits the water and folds to the size of a tackle bag on the way home. For shore, dock and kayak fishermen setting two or three traps, that fold is the difference between a routine and a chore.

Why Eight Entrances

• 8 funnel entries on an octagonal frame — a single-funnel trap catches only what approaches from one side; eight mouths fish every direction, and the funnels close on haul
• Auto-open umbrella frame — one motion to deploy, no assembly; the frame locks open when it hits the water
• Reinforced steel frame + heavy mesh — holds shape in current; flimsy frames collapse in tide and let the catch walk out
• Side zipper — clear the catch through a full-length opening instead of fishing it out through the funnels
• Folds flat — more traps per boat trip and per shelf when you run a string of sets

Setting Them Right

A few habits improve every set:

• Bait center, not edge — clip bait into the center holder so animals commit to the funnel instead of picking through the mesh
• Weight the base in current — add a small stone or sinker to the bottom ring so the trap does not roll over and close its funnels
• Soak 30–90 min for bait, overnight for market — short soaks suit shrimp; long soaks suit crab and eel
