We use Chicken Necks for crabbing on a Trot Line. Tie em on about every 9ft. The line is 1200ft long. Anchored on both ends with a buoy . Simply pick the line up on the hook on the gunnel, of yur boat, ride down the line and scoop the BIG Crabs off the line as they come up to the boat. Run the 1200 ft of line. Cull out the smalls and throw em back. Rinse and repeat, bout 8 or 10 times. Gets a bushel of #1 Jimmys ( large male crabs )......:thumbsup:
