By any chance do you know the cost?

 

I think you can see the price in the picture

 

Excellent pots. I’ve had several for 20+ years and they always out crab the others.

 

How much do they weigh?

 

The 32" with the weights bars and zinc is approx 32lbs. The 36" is only 3lbs heavier at 35lbs which for an all stainless pot is great. The Trilogy model described with the pink web is rock solid however I preferred to sell the traditional with grounded wire entrances. I spent a great deal of time looking into these pots paying full retail like everyone else just to do so. i wasn't disappointed and super happy with the investment.

 

All stainless like that, and with the zincs, will definitely help the crabbing. I've read in the past and had some experience with pots that have the plastic coating coming off and not working very well. It seems crabs are sensitive to electrolysis as well. Not a bad price for that much stainless.

 

Actually the only negative I can say about the pots and this could be the case for most brands of pots. Some crab will crawl under the tunnels...very difficult to get out without injuring the crab. After my first time fishing the pots I took the time to lace some #60 net twine from the tunnel frame to the wire mesh below blocking the ability of the crab to crawl under. Helps a fair amount.

 

Are the weights on these stainless as well? They look like mild steel from the photos.

 

Steel

 

A buddy tried 2 of the 4 tunnel on a 4 hour soak and they were absolutely stuffed.

I tried one on a short soak and it out fished my “good” pots 2/1.

I’ll be in touch Bob.

Bruce your absolutely correct. Trilogy out fishes 2/1 which means less traps dropped. Who doesn't want 24-36 keepers in a single pull.

 

How is the quality of the crab?

 

These are the $250 class SS pots, right?

I know there's a lot of money in the world today, but losing one or having one stolen has to hurt.

 

I hate that I happened to see this post. I stopped by and picked up a 32" pot today after fishing. Solid built and look very crabby. If it indeed out catches my good pots, I'll be back for more! Thanks @JJJ, I think... 🤣

 

Your welcome and thank you for the business!

 

Newport Ace will have both sizes of the Trilogy pots back in stock on November 1st!

 

There were a couple of these pots in the rotation at our vets crabbing event last weekend. They definitely performed very well. Noticeable difference over most pots.

 

Happy to have helped with the need to reorder.

 

The owner at Trilogy swears the 36" - 4 tunnel catches more crab then even its big brother on the commercial fleet!

 

Well I am officially impressed with these crab pots! I've now fishes with them 3 times versus the EZ Pull, danielsons, and some other kind of pots. Each time, they have caught the majority of the crab. The one gripe i have on these is they need some additional wire weaved around the end of the ramp, as crab get stuck in there. I plan on doing that soon. I have 3 of the 3 door pots, and I plan on getting more once Newports Ace hardware re ups on their stock. Thanks for stocking these! 🦀

 

Yup...same here but I closed off the end and bottom sides of the to keep the crab from getting stuck under the ramp. I just used some 80# twisted, tarred net twine I had laying around.

 

Why 3 door and not 4?

 

The 3 door version is a 32" pot @ about 32lbs (with weight bars and zincs). The 4 door version is a 36" pot that only weights 3 lbs more.

 

TRILOGY Pots are back in stock at Newport Ace!

 

Any way to get one of these in Corvallis without shagging all the way to Newport?

 

Bruce - We do have delivery however Corvallis is a little outside our delivery area. Sorry man!

 

Newport Ace has the 32" & 36" Trilogy pots in stock! What a perfect X-MAS gift!! How about a fish field 30" round trap with rope/buoy for $99.99! We also have a new wall of YETI coolers with special pricing that I cant advertise .

 

Curious how much rope included with the 99 dollar fish field deal? Also is this a sale and if so when does it end?or is that everyday price? THX

 

Hi Hutch,

The fish field combo traps have 75ft of rope and this is our everyday price. I've been in this business a long time and our everyday pricing is what sets us apart.
Have a merry Christmas!

 

Good to know, appreciate it👍 will drop in nxt time I'm in the neighborhood. Thx again

 

Newport Ace is back in stock on the 32” Trilogy pots!

 

Happy to help reduce your stock. Now if the darn ocean will lay down…….

 

Just mentioned this in the other thread, but saw them at the SSS set up yesterday. Can't miss them.
