Lobster snare making and using! 

Thank you, but I could have done better. Thiss was a varey ruff example

some lobsters have spines instead of claws in the carribean waters

Thas crazy 10 ft long snare, you got sum video of it in action

@@skindiver61 unfortunately not I made it quick last year, I just took a 12ft peice of pvc cut 2ft off put a 90 added the 2ft and added a cap like yours are ran the cable all the way through

If you glue it together, then you can't replace the cable when it wears out ( Kinks up). Just snug it up and I've never had an issue with it

No I don't think it would, But the way the Lobster driving rules are written in Florida, your not allow to use anything capable of puncturing or crushing the lobster. Don't quote me on the law though.

Yeah the law says "Use any device that could puncture or crush the lobster is prohibited." Which any snare could crush the lobster carapace. I don't think the little rubber piece keeps the snare from crushing the lobster.

The clear pvc I ordered online, i'm sorry. I don't remember where from, but I just use white pvc now, 99% of the fish in the ocean have a white belly, four camouflage. The clear ones I lose easier underwater, lol . I've heard of animal trappers just hammering the ferrules flat wen bilding Snares. I'm not sure how a flat one would work in the pvc pipe.

@@skindiver61 Thank you for replying. I just arrived home from HD and bought White PVC. I am traveling and need to fit this in my Suitcase which can fit 30" max, so I am going to use 2 pieces and use a 1/2 inch slip connector so I can fold it into my suitcase. I just have to make sure my measurements are correct so I don't have too much slack. Have you ever had a request for a travel version of this? Also, mine will end up being almost 5ft when I put it together at our destination. Do you see any problem with that length?

@pittsburghpetfencellc8092 I don't build them to sell. I use them, I have heard of people making long snares 5ft + fore special Situations. But I have never needed one. I'm sure it will work gust fine, though .

3ft, I've made 2' ones and they work too but you get your hand a little close to the lobster

Sorry I missed your comment, I'm not sure what diameter it was, but it is air line tubing you get at a pet store for Bubblers in the aquariums. Pretty cheap
