I use the $30 2' x 2' x 1' box style. They work great as far as I can tell -- 18 crabs last time out, 21 the time before that. Sometimes the traps are so heavy with crabs I almost need help getting them into the boat.

The round SS ones are pretty, but they don't collapse for storage. If you've got a big boat, you probably are OK with that, and you probably have the $$ too laugh laugh
