The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
A double ring crab trap that opens to a 24 inch top and 20 inch bottom, weighing 4.63 pounds with a black body and a portable design, the VEVOR trap is priced at $40.99. That puts it above the Frabill 1271 at $22.00 and the Gee-Feets G40 at $31.99, but below the Florida OB-MED-BLUECRAB wire trap at $70.
What stands out is the 200+ units bought last month, the highest monthly figure among the bait traps compared here. The Frabill 1272 still leads on raw volume with 1,000+ bought last month, but the VEVOR trap's 200+ beats the Gee-Feets G40's 100+ and the Frabill 1271's 50+. Its 5.0 star rating, however, is built on only 3 reviews, compared to 7,700 for the Frabill 1272, 3,100 for the Gee-Feets G40 and 1,900 for the Frabill 1271.
The portable feature and 4.63 pound weight point to a trap meant to be carried and set rather than left permanently in place. In stock now, it lists a black body color and a two-part ring design, distinguishing it from the single or double piece traps from Frabill and Gee-Feets in this same price bracket.
Pros
- 200+ units bought last month, the highest monthly figure among the bait traps compared here
- Larger 24 inch top and 20 inch bottom opening for bigger catch capacity
- 4.63 pound weight with a portable feature for easy carrying
- 5.0 star rating, even if only from 3 reviews so far
- Priced at $40.99, well under the $70 Florida wire trap
Cons
- Only 3 reviews on record, far below the 1,900 to 7,700 range of the Frabill traps
- Costs nearly double the $22.00 Frabill 1271 and $19.99 Frabill 1272
- No stated material spec beyond a black body color
- Untested against the long review history that competing traps have built up

Performance notes
The 24 inch top and 20 inch bottom dimensions describe a double ring design, larger in profile than the one-size Frabill 1271 or the large size Gee-Feets G40. At 4.63 pounds, it is heavier than the Gee-Feets G40's 8.16 ounces or the Frabill 1272's 16 ounces, weight that comes from the double ring frame needed to hold that bigger opening. The portable feature listed in the specs suggests the frame is designed to fold or collapse for transport despite its size, similar in spirit to the folding minnow traps in this category. A black body color is the only finish option listed, a straightforward choice compared to the multicolor options on other traps. Together, the specs describe a trap built for larger catches that still needs to travel easily between the truck and the dock.
What buyers say
The 5.0 star average looks flawless, but with only 3 reviews it carries far less weight than the Frabill 1272's 7,700 reviews at 4.4 stars or the Gee-Feets G40's 3,100 reviews at 4.5 stars. What stands out instead is the 200+ units bought last month, a figure that beats every other trap here except the Frabill 1272's 1,000+. That combination, a near perfect but shallow rating alongside strong recent purchase volume, reads as a newer listing that is already moving units quickly even though its review base has not caught up yet.

Frequently asked questions
How many reviews does the VEVOR Double Ring Crab Trap have?
It has 3 reviews at a 5.0 star average. That is a small sample compared to the Frabill 1272's 7,700 reviews or the Gee-Feets G40's 3,100, so the rating should be read as an early signal rather than a fully proven track record at this point in the listing's life.
How does the VEVOR trap's price compare to other bait traps?
At $40.99, it costs more than the Frabill 1271 at $22.00, the Frabill 1272 at $19.99 and the Gee-Feets G40 at $31.99, but less than the $70 Florida OB-MED-BLUECRAB wire trap, placing it in the middle of this bait trap comparison on price.
Is the VEVOR Double Ring Crab Trap actually selling well?
Yes, based on the 200+ units bought last month, which is higher than the Gee-Feets G40's 100+ and the Frabill 1271's 50+, and second only to the Frabill 1272's 1,000+ among the bait traps covered here, a strong showing for a trap with such a short review history.
