Crayfish cages are Fishing items used to catch Crayfish, which when cooked, heal 20 life points. Cages can be bought for a few coins at the Grand Exchange, at Gerrant's Fishy Business (run by Gerrant) in Port Sarim or at Hank's Fishing Shop (run by Hank) in Lumbridge. Players can also get a crayfish cage for free once from Hank. Crayfish cages look relatively similar to lobster pots. They do not require bait. They can also be stored in the Toolbelt.
First Fish
Crayfish are one of the first fish new players will catch. They are very popular with beginners, as they catch very fast (much quicker than shrimp). They can also sell for a few coins on the Grand Exchange.
Where to Find
Crayfish cages can be used wherever there is a fishing spot with the "Cage" spot available. There are quite a few of these in F2P, though one of the most popular can be found north of Lumbridge Castle, at the pond near the mill. Another bonus of this spot is its proximity to the fishing store in Lumbridge.
Trivia
- Crayfish cages used to be available from the Fishing Tutor but due to the Advisors and Objectives update he has been deleted. You can still get them for free in the Lumbridge fishing shop. If you take the free sample and try to sell it back to the shop, the shopkeeper will thank you for returning the sample but give you no money. Oddly enough, right below the free cage is a 20gp buyable cage.
- It can also be used in Dragon Slayer when trying to get the map piece in the Dwarven Mines, as it is a small crustacean cage.
