The Magister Crab Snare

3D-printed rocket design with cutting-edge features:

– Stabilizing fins improve casting aerodynamics
– Lead-free weight, adjustable from 5.5 to 10 oz
– Efficient, easy-open, screw-top bait cage
– Glow-in-the-dark body to increase catch efficiency

Designed for Flight

Tail fins help the Magister rocket fly straight and true, similar to an arrow or dart.

The front-loaded weight distribution and engineered fin design optimize the Magister rocket’s static margin to ensure stable flight.

Easy-Open, Bait-Efficient Cage

Unscrew the top, load the bait, re-screw the top, and you’re ready to launch.

Squid and the Magister form an ideal pair. The Magister’s 2.7 cubic inch volume is bait-efficient and perfectly fits one squid (the most effective bait).

Lead-Free, Adjustable Weight

The bolt, nut, and washers are made from zinc-plated steel to avoid lead toxicity.

Remove the nut and change the number of washers to adjust the weight. Each snare comes with 19 washers (0.25 oz each) to customize the weight from 5.5 to 10 oz (configured as 10 oz out of the box, 8.5 oz as shown).

Need replacements? These off-the-shelf parts are readily available at your local hardware store.

Glows in the Dark

The Magister crab snare glows in the dark. The sky blue phosphorescence matches the peak visual spectral sensitivity of crustaceans, enabling positive phototaxis.

Fully Modular Design

The weights are adjustable, removable, and replaceable. The tail fin piece is removable and replaceable. The tail, nose, and bolt threads offer flexible anchor points for future features.
