I had never crabbed with snares from shore prior to using Beach Bandit Crab Snares. I met Billy at the beach in Netart’s while I was fishing throwable traps. He caught ten crabs in under an hour!! He pointed me towards his website where I purchased a few for myself, since then I enjoy more crab on my trips to the beach!

I can vouch for these snares...
As a snare maker myself, I am super picky when it comes to the construction of snares.
I met Billy earlier this year on the pier in Garibaldi and got a firsthand look, up close.
While I take pride in my own snares (that have a non-toxic weight poured into the snare itself to allow for a more compact stance (i.e. no exterior weight that could get caught/snagged) I was blown away by these snares.
I've tried every snare on the market and a dozen independent snare makers and nobody is making snares even close to the quality of the igotcrabs snares.

Went out with a friend today and both got our limits. Ran into Billy out last week and then bought some snares from his shop to add to my pack. We caught several on his 4 oz snares even with the current ripping pretty hard. There was also a guy on the beach not catching anything with flappy traps, so I let him throw one of Billy's 6 oz snares on there and he got an entire limit in about 3 hours. I Recommend checking them out and can say they are much higher quality than the typical mass production you will find in stores! The different weight options to choose from is a plus as well. -Ben Harris
“The Blue Loops on the Beach Bandit snare really made it easy on the end of my 12’ offshore angler rod. I could see the loops were properly opened at the time of my cast. The design of the weight on the Beach Bandit snare kept the bait box always available above the sand. Brilliant!” – Brian Fihn
