We are Lonny Painter and Shelly Clooten Painter of Pacific Crab Gear. We have over 40 years of experience with all aspects of building crab pots including welding, knitting and rubber wrapping. We are a small family business with ties to the North Oregon Coast for over 75 years as well as 20 years in the commercial fishing industry. We have built thousands of crab pots over the years but took a break from it due to lack of demand. We now understand that there is a need once again for another Dungeness crab pot company on the Oregon coast.
