Thanks to Deal Hunter StrongWeather642 for finding this deal.
Nice deal! The 10' looks great. Too bad they don't have the heavier model on sale for those into crab snaring I got the Pursuit IV recently and it appears to be a pretty solid reel

Never heard of crab snaring. So just some bait on the hook and let them latch on? Went crabbing for the first time this year and had a great time. Caught over 100, but only one was big enough.

Crab snaring is primarily thing in Northern California and Oregon. Basically, it's a small cage made with thick gauge metal wire with 6 retracting loops of heavy mono (or weed wacker line) attached. You fill the cage with squid or other scented bait, cast out (from the beach, pier, or jetty) with anywhere from 6-12oz or more in weight and then let it soak for anywhere from 5-15 minutes. You can't tell if a crab is on usually so you just go by time and then 'set the hook' like you would on a big fish and maintain pressure while winding (don't stop winding or let the line go slack or you'll likely lose the crab). You can usually feel the extra weight of the crab(s) if they were caught on one or more of the loops. This has become an increasingly popular activity up in NorCal especially. You will catch both Dungeness and rock crabs but Dungeness is obviously the more desirable catch. Off the beach, most people will snare Dungeness but at Pacifica Pier, people get a mix of both rock and Dungeness. It just depends on how far you cast out. If you drop down around the pier pilings then you'll likely end up snaring rock crabs.

Edit: NVM found it!
6000 for the 9'
8000 for the 10'
Just gonna add this:
Even the most expensive setup won't catch fish, if you're not where the fish are.
