ABSTRACT:
A crab hand line device has a triangular configuration and is opened and closed in the general manner of a safety pin. An elongate rod is bent in three locations to form a short leg, a medium length leg, and a long leg of the triangular configuration. A first end of the rod is bent into a return bend that is normal to the plane of the device. A second bend in the rod is a gradual ninety degree bend, and the third bend is a gradual one hundred fifty degree bend so that a thirty-sixty-ninety degree triangle is formed. The free end of the long leg is pointed to that a bait item is easily impaled onto it, and the pointed free end is releasably engaged with the return bend after the bait has been impaled to ensure that the bait cannot fall off of the third leg. The device is weighted so that it will not float, and the streamlined contour of the triangular configuration ensures that it will not snag on plant material as it is raised to the surface when a crab is feeding on the bait.
