Hi Tony! Thanks for the comment and question. I am not sure that I understand your question, but this trap does have 8 total entry points, or 2 on each side (2 per funnel). If you were asking something different, please let me know. Thank you, sir!

@@ReelTexasOutdoors yes that’s the one, do you have any in stock

@@tonywilson9313 - nothing in stock at this point. But can get one headed your way by middle of next week.

Thank you. Yes sir, I’ve honestly thought about it quite a bit. However, to do so, you would really limit the strength of the holding cage when lifting it out of the water. I’m not exactly sure how I would want to design one where it kept the same strength as it has now. It is a great idea, though.

Hey man! Thanks... hope you're doing well and sorry I missed you guys in town last weekend.

hey man, yeah... zip ties are a ton of work. This was a pneumatic hog ringer in the video that uses 1/2 inch rings. Good luck

Hi Carl, thanks for the comment. Yes sir, if I recall correctly, we had a lot of fish and stopped keeping the smallest ones. I really like the 2-10 lb range (if I had to choose).

Hi Michael, thanks for the comment. It's live now on the site. I forgot to add the link to the description, so thanks for the reminder. I will drop a link below to make it easier to find though. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you, sir. www.reeltexasoutdoors.com/collections/bait-fish-traps/products/premium-cloverleaf-bait-fish-trap

Im confused by your comment. Is it implying that the fish were placed inside the trap? Ive made one trap to date with horizontal openings, and this is the one in the video. It was an experiment for fun, but it clearly caught the fish. I would use this trap now only in certain situations, for like crawfish. It's not ideal for bait fish.

Good idea. However, the traps are cut the way they are to save wire and time cutting/assembling the traps. If I were to cut the wire in a manner that made the mesh run horizontally, I would have to use a ton more wire, make more cuts, and use more time to build one. It's just not efficient to build one this way, unfortunately. However, it's a non issue now as we make traps out of 1/2 x 1/2 heavy gauge wire also.

Hey, you are welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Thanks so much! Appreciate you, sir.

You are most welcome

Thank you, sir. I’ll be sure to use the lure again, for sure.

@@ReelTexasOutdoors have fun with it .

Yes sir, I’m sure you’re right. The last big female I caught had just recently been nursing some kits. At least she appeared that way. I bet this fella has one more out there somewhere also.

Haha, man…. No joke. It’s a bad heavy snake year for sure. I saw probably six yesterday alone. #TrappinAintEazy 😂

Glad you got the 3 best way to check if beavers are present is get the water flowing weather it’s a culvert are a dam

Yes sir, for sure. Appreciate the comments and view. Have a great one, man.

Thank you, sir! Appreciate the comment.

Thanks Billy! Appreciate you, sir.

Thanks man! Hope you guys are doing well. Enjoy seeing your family posts on FB!

Dang, well that escalated quickly. You don’t seem to be the type of person capable of civil discourse in this arena, so I won’t bother with trying to explain the need for beaver control. I’ll just say that I’m sorry you felt the need to leave such a negative comment regarding someone you don’t even know.

Hey man, thanks for reaching out. Lord willing, I will continue to incorporate trapping jobs into my channel. I have another video coming soon, and another job lined out next week, so I will have some content to produce coming up. I just ordered some more lure today, but I am interested in what you have. Please email me at [email protected] when you get a chance and we can chat. Thanks again, sir. Have a good one!

@@ReelTexasOutdoors email to your contact sent .

Thanks for the comment, I sincerely appreciate it. To be honest, this is the only trap I have ever built with horizontal openings. I have built thousands of traps with vertical, but I still have this one to date. It’s not very practical for fish, but it isn’t bad for crawfish and other things that crawl up the ramps. Overall, it’s an okay trap, but I would not recommend it for fish exclusively. I have not caught any turtles in it however I don’t typically use it very much either. Either way, thank you again for the comment. I sincerely appreciate you.

Yes sir…. Slim chance for sure. Thanks for commenting and I’ll def try to post more ETX trapping videos. Part 2 coming soon also. Thank you, sir. Have a good one!

Hi Lloyd, thanks for the comment and question. You can check out our traps at www.reeltexasoutdoors.com. Current lead time is about 7 business days from order date. It's the busy season, so it's been taking me just over a week to get an order out the door right now. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, man.

Hi Nathan, I’m East Texas near Nacogdoches. Let me know if you ever want to pick one up. I’ll be happy to meet you in the area somewhere. Thanks man. Have a good one.

Hi Clayton, my apologies for the slow response. I think it would depend on whether or not you can find some pockets/pools of slow moving water. If so, then I would go with a Z-trap. If you cannot and you have to bait it, then I would say clover. Check out that last short i posted on the channel. That guy was using one of my Z-traps in a creek and caught a ton. Hope this helps man, have a good one.

I used zip ties when I make em. Instead of cutting them I weave the end into the trap so I don’t get cut on the sharp ends.

Thanks for the comment and appreciate the concern. This is a small pond and both boys were wearing life jackets… Go to 8:30 and see the blue vest he’s wearing. Either way, I’m sure your comment was of genuine concern, so I do appreciate that, sir. Have a good one.

Hi there, thanks for the comment. You can check out all of my traps on my website at www.reeltexasoutdoors.com. If you happen to run into any questions, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll be happy to answer. I’m typically much faster at responding to email than KZfaq comments. I apologize that it took me so long to see this one. Have a great afternoon, sir.

Good morning, Terry. Thanks for reaching out. We’re located outside of Nacogdoches, TX but we don’t have a store front or anything. We mostly sell online. You can learn more about our traps at www.reeltexasoutdoors.com and can email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank you, sir.

He’s just nappin’.

Thanks bud!

Thank you, sir... and agree. I was a bit long winded, but I was not about to record it a 3rd time, lol. Have a good one, man.

I've definitely seen that happen. We've also caught a lot of fish just baiting up our lines b/c a smaller fish will hit the bare hook and then the larger cat will eat them. Pretty wiled and always a good surprise. Thanks for the comment as well, sir!

Hi Darla. They’re destroying the land owners property and causing issue. In this location.

Dang man! That would be a sweet catch. I thought about a fish getting into this set… but it would have most likely been a bowfin knowing my luck, haha. Catching a steelhead in a trap would be pretty dang cool.

Thanks brotha!

You don't even know me. That's being pretty narrow-minded, no?

Thank you tremendously for the info and feedback on this it helps me a ton. Have a great evening and thank you again!!
