Wow those traps took it hard, agree with your assessment that it was probably turtles that tore em up. Guess I’ll steer clear of those kind of traps. Congrats on 10K , bounced to over 11K pretty quick.

Please make more videos. I really like watching them while I’m fishing 🎣

Thank you so very much for saving me a ton of money. I was actually about ready to buy a couple of these. I can only imagine what a crab would do to those or any other type ocean creature as well.

Thanx you saved me time of waiting for them on Amazon and thanx for saving me the money YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!

I'm glad you posted this video friend, I'd already looked at these traps once.

Man thanks for posting this video. I was totally going to buy these traps and i'm glad i didn't. this was really helpful.

Brother I've been using these trap for years and years, and and i haven't shredded a single one! I always catch lots of signal crayfish including small pan fishes in the Pacific Northwest of WA state every summer, and I have 3 of them. Also, the way you set your traps like placing baits like right around the sides giving the crayfish an easy reach is not very smart. The goal to this trap is to have em work for their meals and have em fixated in the center as they try to look for an entrance point towards the inner center where the bait is placed! Not around the sides where their little claws can easily reach over and take small bite size pieces which saves the critters a lot of trouble of going inside. Not to mention making a jackass out of you Lol! I say you should skewer a single fish then put em in the center not around the sides.

At least you found out what traps not to use!

I was very interested with those traps. They look quite promising, but I knew at some point it's going to be a bummer. Thanks for the review bro!

I have 2 of these, $6 on Temu. I haven't tried them for crawfish. However, this past fall I tried one out for minnows. I baited with a small piece of leftover cheese powerbait block from one of my hoop nets. In the span of just a few hours this trap accumulated several thousand shiners....

hey pal, just curious what is the best trap you would recommend? thanks man.

Right on bro you just saved me $40, I was about to buy two of them! you now have a new subscriber!

I think the best crawfish trap you can make very very cheap is a 5 gallon water bottle for a water machine and cut the top off and turn it around so the spout is pointing inside. The hole is perfect size and it is big and durable. Same concept as the 2 liter bottle or whatever.

I used one of these traps in Kentucky and they worked great for peach and minnows, but you had to watch them and pull up when the fish were in the trap.

Have you tried the calendar traps that have the spring coil in them? Had goodness success with them.

Very cheap nets 👊 BUT I advise Bait hung on centre post ✅ Do not drag, Lift ✅ Works well ATB

Doesn't look like they would survive the retrieval even if turtles hadn't already torn them open. Thank you for saving me some money.

So if I home made one stronger and didn’t leave it for as long it would work great?

Thanks for the review. You saved a lot of people from wasting their money on useless products.

What do you do with the crayfish? Do you have bcc a holding tank for them?

Thanks for posting

Thanks for this video man I was just about to buy a bunch of them I'll try a stronger trap!

These traps are ok-ish. I'm in Northern California and the way I make them work is to use a can of cat food from the dollar store. I have had like 5 cat fish wesiel into the trap. I would guess that a 10lb cat or turtle totally broke them.

Thanks you saved me some money 👍

Underrated channel really good man

Lol , reminds me when I tried to grow oysters in an laundry bag in fresh/brackish water ; that idea didn't last me long . I did perferate an 5 gallon bucket with drill bits and first threw it in a ditch for a few days and caught a few crawldads but no bait was used which the idea was that it would trap by means of providing cover for the critters but I'm sure an turtle would have tore through that relatively easy ; an metal trashcan would probably work though and you could probably use bungee cords to hold the lid on , that is if it's hard to find traps . I might dig that perforated bucket out , actually use it to hold my cast nets which allows them to dry faster , and actually throw some bait in them then drop it into the bay . If I do I'll keep you informed ! Actually the bay has eels so it might not last .

I was thinking about getting a trap like this but after seeing this video I think I'll stick with my gee's crawfish and minow traps after watching this. Thank you for making this video.

I can see a use for this in private ponds with bluegill overpopulation/ stunting problem, it definitely needs to be suspended and used temporarily in the daytime. It does save a lot of space

S*%t I just purchases 2 today before I saw your video 🥺😞. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 thank you for sharing 🙂

I have one and love it. But it’s hasn’t had a turtle and gator get ahold of it yet lol

Do you think they would be ok for catching salt water bait fish

Ok let me tell you what the issue was, the trap is good however to leave it overnight was your error right there, u created bait for real monsters that feed at night. It will be more effective being monitored in light of its material it wasn’t designed to keep bigger predators from bursting a hole and having a feeding frenzy with the crayfish you helped to prepare for them and I know many creatures that just love cray

I use mine all the time and I only paid $7.60 for ea trap on ebay and they have held up awesome over last 2 years. . . . . . . . .

What should I buy then?

How often can you eat crayfish? Are they like fish where you should only eat them once a week? Also how often can you trap the same spot and get results?

where did you go its been two yars what happened man u have 18 k subs please start uploading

They are not designed for overnight soaks.

thanks bro

Also chicken can be used as bait.

Im using these traps and they work fine but im gonna try to get a metal one

Thats why i go with bucket traps

Was there slime on the traps. It could have been eels that tore your traps up. Maybe the claws of the crayfish and turtle

Bruh, I NEED MORE VIDEOS!!! Where you at???

That's a huge bummer. But thanks for the video anyway, at least now we know what not to buy

my question is do you ever catch any with eggs or the the pregnant ones not come out for food

They do great for the money is streams only but will only last one season. But when u can keep 10 of them in a backpack and only weighs 2 lbs can’t beat them

Jack Black vibes and i love it

Are you still making videos?

That's one craw trap I'm not getting. Thanks bro

Got one sitting in the Delaware River as I watch this... also have 3 cat poles out

Attack of the otter.

At least you found out what bait not to use..

You should do ace hardware cheapest trap

Lol I just ordered 2 of them lol

Your videos make me sleep lol

It's so amazing love from India

When I tryed them they loaded up w catfish and all the barbs were stuck. Had to cut them free. Fun day.

an hour or two is all you need to put it in the water. doesn't matter what trap you using if you bait it right. I think you shouldn't have just chunked in two large dead fish. that's why it has a pocket. waste of possible cut bait the way I see it. I use a woman's stocking and cut it to tie into the center of what ever trap I'm using. always works.

Not suppose to leave those over night

Any one have proper trap antirust anti penetration pls inform me the brand name and from where to buy

When you took that trap out of the box I thought "that's a horrible trap".

These cheapo traps are good on the go and then throw away. When i fly even abroad, i buy a couple of these. They are folded. I use them while on vacation and throw them out when done.

Overnight?

I hate this happened but you need to drop your net straight down and then go back and pick it straight up, walk out in the shallow water drop it down and pick it back up and NOT drag it across big SHARP ROCKS and your next net might withstand it. Good luck to you. Again sorry it got torn up on ya.

I think there's too many fish inside causing the damage of the trap or may be the trap was drag due to the trap was so light weight. I fully watch the video

Bait bag is there for a reason

possibly snapping or other turtles are messing up the traps to get at the fish

First off thank you for the video very informative, but I am most curious, what ripped those nets… I’m pretty sure the crayfish did not do that, a snapping turtle perhaps I don’t know?…

Very glad I didn't order this before watching this video what a rip off terrible I would be so mad I'd return them like that 😂

I use this trap to trap invasive lizards in Florida and they work great

I'm guessing a snapping turtle had his way with the trap.

Are you not doing KZfaq anymore?

Turtles will chew through the mesh

I've experienced the same with my traps in salt water, the crabs tear this thing to shreds with ease.

Is great for catching lil birds for fun. Cuz it's didn't do well for fish r crayfish when I purchased mine. Smh

Very good I like watching the video Using umbrella traps is very effective Master bubu umbrella

Maybe it’s what you use them for. Use them as bait traps and no issues.

Can you make another video on catching squid some time??

If you're using this on river then it will break. You can only use this in pond and lake, not in those water source with rocky area.

lol lol 😂 I know someone who bought this and told’m that is not going to work….lol

This is what I use steal traps

I HAVE THAT TRAP TOO, XD

Eating ? Or bait

Yes while the design looks effective, the material is way too flimsy. Crayster Traps are the overall best. Especially Crsyster's, Snake River Trap!

Too bad I didn't see this before I bought these traps.

You dont need a knife to open those amazon boxes, the tape is rips easy.

I bought these also and I called Amazon customer service and they gave me my money back and they paid to ship them back

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🐶🐶🐶

Ottor might have tore them up...

thats Chinese crap for ya great video keep em coming

Some new videos would be awesome, you have the best content on KZfaq

Wanna see them work, cut the baits open. Then try it....

I personally don’t like it since it always comes broken

Best for minnows but not for crab

Are you sure it was literally and not figuratively? I think youve already worn that word out.

ভাই আমার জন্য একটা পাটাই দেন,, টাকা পয়সা নাই,,

Lol

That catch too bad for two big bucket

You waited too long, a couple of hours are ideal

terrible experience! These traps work great with food that smells bad and in the water for 30 Minutes! If you leave it the whole night, the logic says, it will be eaten as well! I have them and work great, it must be short periods of times inside water, out again, change food if necessary, inside again for 30 minutes, etc, etc Greetings from Germany
