Eagle ClawMinnow Trap Black, 9-Inch x 16-1/2-Inch

It’s easy. Don’t worry about buying minnows now

I ordered this product in black. I received it in aqua blue. Have not used yet but other than the color seems to be as expected

I just used the minnow trap for the first time .It worked amazingly well ,the first time I caught over 30 minnows in less than 10 minutes.All I had to do was put a little piece of bread in the trap and the minnows just absolutely destroy it.I have two ponds on my property,one that I just stocked and the fish are finally getting big enough to eat smaller fish. The other pond is where I am getting my minnows from because a pond will naturally stunt the fish down over 20 years or so.This product will work very well for but also for anyone who needs minnows for fishing.The technique that I found out works best is making small balls of bread and leaving one piece to float in the trap which really draws the minnows in quickly,then It's just a matter of opening the trap and dropping the minnows in a bucket or live well.This product works very well and does a very good job at catching all size minnows from just a little bigger than an inch to around five inches .I am very happy with the quality and performance of this minnow trap and look forward to usingIt for years to come.

This is a really nice minnow trap. I was a little worried about spending so much as compaired to other traps but it is a good design and I'm glad I bought thisd one. I'm using it in tidal creeks to catch mud minnows. I bait it up with a couple dead finger mullet sliced up a bit or a balled up piece of bread. Both seem to work. I point the funnel end down stream ( at low or falling tide ) and leave it for an hour or two. I cant beliesve how many minnows get in this trap. I cull out the small ones and have more than I need for the rest of the day. The side door is nice to use and provides a nice big opening for getting your bait out. It is much more conveniant as dumping the minnows into the hatch on my minnow bucket than the funnel types I have had in the past. No more stuck minnows in the narrow crease at the cone end. I will be buying another one of these when the time comes.!

I just recvd this product after ordering it yesterday thanks to Prime membership(amazing). I have played with this thing and to be honest cannot see why there would be any issues with this product unless user error. The 2 sections have opposing loop/stud locking system on the bottom and the top has a simple squeeze clamp system which takes a lot of pressure to compress and slip off. I havent take it to the water yet but would recommend a good cleaning first since there is a film on it from the coating that only soap and soft clothe will do.I cant wait to test this out considering I only spent $10 on this item, when it cost me $2.50 for a dozen minnows this past weekend.*update 10/1/12, Took this out to the lake to do some fishing, dropped a can of tuna flavored cat food inside and dipped it just a few feet out and let it sit 15min and had a half dozen minnows and baby sunfish. Excellent product, had I left it out longer I would have had a ton more but time was limited for me.
