Frabill Torpedo Minnow Trap | Heavy-Duty Steel Mesh | Two-Piece Minnow Trap

This method proved to be highly effective, though it did require some practice to fully understand its operation. Faced with a snake in the pond, I wanted an easy release method once it was caught. Within three days, the trap successfully caught the snake. I was able to transport it safely to a nearby swamp. The design allowed me to simply open the top enough for the snake to slide out and continue on its way without causing it harm. To prevent the trap from accidentally opening during the trip and to the snake’s movements, I secured the top with a bread tie. This precaution helped ensure that even if the snake became very active, the trap would remain closed until I was ready to release it. Overall, this approach provided a safer alternative to handling snakes directly by hand, the way I use to catch them.

Have had mine for 5 years now. I use it to catch small/med sized snakes eating my chicken eggs for release elsewhere. Leave it in the coop for the scent, throw an egg in it for bait. Works great! nice and sturdy. Actually coming back for a second one to get some minnows!

Very sturdy ... a quality product! I don't know what my husband was expecting to receive because I ordered it. His comment, "Wow! You bought a really nice/good one!"

This is a pretty good product and works how it should but it didn’t come with the clip to hold it together so I had to makeshift some string but other than that it is a great product and is pretty strong. If I run into anything else I edit this.

Catches Killies in NJ. Easy to use, and it’s effective.

Great value

Expect to do some small adjustments in order to connect the two halves; as the eyelets and 'fingers' don't quite line up. A slight twist with a pliers should work. The holes in the ends are pretty small. I couldn't even put a Bic lighter though either of them, so this could be an issue if you want to catch crawfish. The plastic coating is really good and the clip to hold the two halves together has good tension. If I had a need for another one, I would probably buy this again. Really great for the price.

works well if you know what youre doing some of the other reviews put the clip on incorrectly. it works well for minnows, snakes, new born bluegill/bass, crawdads aswell.
