Trap is as described, great product!
I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. The Frabill Torpedo Crawfish Trap is made from heavy-duty steel mesh. He was impressed with its overall quality and durability. The trap is well-constructed. The design allows crawfish to climb right in. The only drawback we found is that the holes are too large, allowing smaller crawfish to escape. Overall it is a wonderful trap for the price. It's easy to set up, clean, and functions properly.

Great just not for smaller bait fish
Good, it works. Definitely won't work for minnows or anything under an inch in size really. It is nice and sturdy and lightweight. Put a little bread in there and you can catch plenty of bait fish. Me personally I 3d printed a piece that shrinks the size of the trap so I can use it for smaller fish. Still will work out of the box though.

Awesome quality!! Thanks for a great product
I ordered 5 of the crawfish traps. They feel solid!! The vinyl covering the steel expanded metal is thick. I won't be using them for a few months but I can tell they are quality. The only issue I can foresee is the clasp. When you connect both pieces together and put the clasp on, at a certain angle with minimal effort, the pod can come off the clasp. This occurs because the gap on the end is a bit too wide. The solution to this issue to is this. Use a pair of pliers and crimp it a bit more so the trap can't wiggle loose off the clasp. Even with this issue, IT IS AN AWESOME PRODUCT TO CATCH CRAWFISH!! ****UPDATE***** I was finally able to use the traps. It worked great!!! In one trap after soaking for a few hours had 21 crawfish. Just so you are aware, crawfish is able to escape out of the trap with some effort. If you asked me if I would recommend these traps, my answer would be YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!! **********ANOTHER UPDATE ******* Went on another trip to Eastern Sierra for 7 days. These traps worked great!!! My son and I filled a 5 gallon bucket in 4.5 hours. Money well spent on these traps. I also had an opportunity to use a square crawfish trap with a single entrance. I think it sells for like $20-$25. Those were a pain if you have to throw the traps instead of dropping them. These cylinder traps always land perfect!!

Well built. But holes could be smaller or better designed.
I recently purchased the Frabill Torpedo Crawfish Trap made from heavy-duty steel mesh, and overall, it’s been a solid addition to our crawfishing gear. We’ve used it several times this season, and I’m impressed with its overall quality and durability. The trap is well-constructed, with sturdy steel mesh that feels like it can withstand plenty of use over the years. It’s evident that Frabill put a lot of thought into the design, making it easy to set up and handle. The torpedo shape works effectively in the water, allowing us to catch crawfish in various environments. However, I do have one concern: the size of the intake holes. While they are designed to allow crawfish to enter easily, we found that some smaller crawfish were able to escape through the holes. It would be beneficial if the intake holes were either smaller or adjustable to help minimize this issue. This is something to consider if you're targeting smaller crawfish, as it can be a bit frustrating to lose some of our catch. Despite this drawback, I have to say that the Frabill Torpedo Crawfish Trap performs well overall. It’s easy to clean, lightweight for transport, and it catches a good amount of crawfish when set up properly. I would definitely recommend it to fellow crawfishing enthusiasts, just with the caveat about the intake holes. It’s a good product that gets the job done, with the potential for improvement. Happy trapping!

Quality trap!
High quality, but you pay for what you get most of the time.

works fine
not sure about the complaints of these coming apart when throwing out. The clip that holds them shut holds BOTH pieces of the trap and, when used properly, will not come apart as the clip is made of very sturdy stainless steel or whatever but they don't rust, and they are actually a bit tough to fully open to attach the 2 halves together/close the trap. I have about 8 of these that I modified to catch mud minnows (closed off the holes to 1inch per SCDNR regulations), and have never had the clips open up in mid toss or any other time and had the traps fall apart, to the contrary, I'm actually a bit rough with mine and often wind up dragging them in through thick vegetation, etc, and they stay together just fine. They come apart on the hinges for super easy storage. I ran over one but just bent it back to shape by hand, then used the stacking method to round it back out again. These are well worth the money and Ive used mine for several years and they still function just great, tire marks and all.
