Special heavy duty steel mesh construction. This trap is vinyl dipped to help protect the mesh and provide a smoother surface to reduce algae build-up. The black color provides a camouflage effect blending in underwater so the trap is less visible to bait and over acurious passerby. Popular torpedo shape works well in slack water or current. Special diamond mesh pattern will not collect debris and allows free flow of water through the trap. Two-piece design allows easy access to baitfish and makes it a breeze to bait-up. Comes complete with heavy-duty spring clip closure.
