Fishing Traps & Lines

Fishing traps are commonly used by anglers to catch baitfish such as minnows, shad, and herring for their fishing expeditions in order to attract larger predatory fish. Fishing traps come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small portable traps to large commercial traps that can hold several hundred baitfish. Some popular types of fishing traps include minnow traps, crawfish traps, lobster traps, and crab traps. Fishing traps are usually made of wire mesh or netting and have a funnel-like entrance that leads the baitfish into the trap, making it difficult for them to escape. Many fishing traps are designed to be collapsible, making them easy to transport and store.
