How Crab Pots Work in Dinkum
Crab Pots let you catch critters. You might think they are useless because you mostly catch useless junk. It takes a whole day for a trap to catch anything, and you have to put bait inside it each time. To craft the crab pots, you must first purchase the fishing Tier 2 License from Fletch, and that requires a level 10 fishing skill. You have to submerge crab pots two levels deep.
You will need the following materials to craft a crab pot:
