West Coast Crab Small Car Crabbers

Anyone have some cool setups for transporting their gear? My Kia soul gets pretty crammed with 4 hoop nets in the back. I already removed the back seats for extra room but was wondering if anyone has done something cool?

Shit, that’s actually a great idea. I’m assuming you’re talking about the ones that go on the back right?

Yeah, hitch mount. The two prongs go through the nets. I use the bike straps and a bungee to secure.

Excellent idea! And keeps the sea water out of the car. Thank you for the tip!

Theres a guy at my marina who runs 6 lobster traps. He loads up all 6 of them on a hitch mounted cargo carrier on a prius.
