Ray, what is a ring?
I store them in the front hatch. They are in the cockpit for a photo op, plus it is kind of tradition to put your limit out like that when you land around here.
I've been pinched before. It leaves a mark.
Traps are three dimensional and actually prevent the crab from leaving once it enters. Rings lay flat on the bottom and crab are free to come and go. You only catch what is in them when you haul it up. Rings weigh a lot less and are better for actively fishing. Traps are best later in the season when left to soak while you go do something else.
