* Because the [[#Freshwater|freshwater catches]] sell for a low value and can be easily caught in large quantities, they're ideal choices for turning into [[Quality Fertilizer]] or [[Sashimi]]. It might be helpful to put a handful of crab pots in the farm's ponds (where they're easily accessible to harvest daily) to make fertilizer/sashimi out of their catches and gain some Fishing experience.

* When the [[Skills#Fishing|Luremaster Profession]] is taken, it becomes very easy to accidentally pick up the crab pots. Since 1.5, this has become easier to avoid; simply target a crab pot that still contains its daily catch, and hold the collection button. As long as the button is held, the player can collect as many as they like without fear of accidentally picking up the crab pot.

Since 1.6.4 this is even easier to avoid, as there is now a short delay after collecting when the crab pot cannot be picked up.

** Without the profession, the easiest way is to have the bait selected as the crab pots are emptied, easily baiting the pot right away. Baited Crab Pots cannot be picked up.

* Without the Trapper profession, the total cost of buying materials to build a crab pot is {{Price|3100}}. With the profession, the total cost of materials is {{Price|1300}}. However, these prices more than double starting in Year 2 due to the rise in the cost of raw materials, while the purchase price from [[Fish Shop|Willy's Fish Shop]] remains fixed at {{Price|1500}}. This makes it much more cost-effective to buy crab pots from Willy's starting in Year 2 instead of buying the ingredients, even with the Trapper profession.
