Beau Mac Replacement SS Hook for Crab Traps The plastic hooks that ship on most crab and shrimp pots are the first thing to go, cracked by cold water, bent by current, or simply worn out after a few seasons of hard use. The Beau Mac Replacement Stainless Steel Hook is the permanent fix. At 3-3/4" long and built from heavy-duty stainless steel, it's a direct upgrade over the plastic closures found on many production crab and shrimp pots; stronger, more corrosion-resistant, and far less likely to fail at the worst possible moment. Stainless holds up in the salt, brine, and abrasion of Puget Sound and coastal crabbing without pitting, rusting, or losing its shape under load. Whether you're repairing a pot before the Dungeness opener or building out a new trap spread, swapping to a stainless hook is a simple upgrade that keeps your doors closed and your catch right where you put it.
