Durasnare was founded with a clear goal in mind:


To deliver durability, affordability, and quality effectiveness—so you can focus on what really matters: catching crab.



A NOTE FROM THE OWNER


Hi! I’m Lawrence —


Former police officer, lifelong fisherman, and proud owner of Durasnare.


I grew up in Pacifica, CA, where my passion for crabbing began. It all started in high school, when I met the incredible, knowledgeable local fishermen of the Pacifica Pier community. They quickly became like family to me. I found myself fishing every week, drawn to the camaraderie and lifestyle that the fishing world offered.


Many of you know me as “Law,” and some may even remember using my very first crab snares back in 2004. Others might recognize me from my time as a Pacifica Police Officer, often seen walking the pier and chatting with fellow fishermen.


I started Durasnare because I believe everyone who wants to crab—whether a first-timer or a seasoned fisherman—deserves access to reliable, high-quality equipment. Over the years, I noticed too many snares on the market were poorly made. Flimsy loops, weak cages, and improper weights often led to lost catches and frustration. Durasnare was created to solve those problems. Every snare we make is built to handle rough waters and tough crabs—so you don’t lose your catch or your patience.


As our brand grew, so did our mission. Expanding into fishing guide services felt like a natural evolution. We were already making the gear—why not show people how to use it? Today, we proudly offer guided crab snaring and poke pole fishing trips, giving people of all experience levels a chance to learn hands-on.


Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been fishing for years, our goal is to share the joy, connection, and knowledge that coastal fishing brings.


Thank you for choosing Durasnare as your trusted crabbing gear.


With love and everything fishing,
Lawrence
