Crab pots make on average {{price|47}}/day in freshwater and {{price|50.5}}/day in the ocean, assuming all [[trash]] is [[Recycling Machine|recycled]] and sold. This number can be increased to about {{price|75}}/day for freshwater or {{price|81.4}}/day for the ocean if all [[fish]] that are worth less than {{price|75}} are converted into [[Sashimi]] and the [[Skills#Fishing|Mariner]] profession is chosen. <ref name="goldperday" />

==Tips==

* 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.

** 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.
