Works best with hotdogs.

Prtpsarta March 29, 2012

I got this trap as an early Easter present from my parents, and i tried crackers for the first two days with no luck. So i tossed in a hotdog and threw it in an overflow area in my creek. The next day i got 3 baby chubs and 2 baby sunfish. The trap is a lot bigger then you might imagine, larger then a football, and the holes to enter the trap are fairly big to so i get minnows normally around 2 inches long which is pretty good since I expected the trap to be tiny and to catch little 3 cm long fish. The trap is very sturdy and easy to take apart and put back together, it has a rust proof plastic around all the metal which is an added bonus. I would recommend this to anyone who fells like catching minnows. My purpose was to put them in a new pond I hand dug. Overall it is an excellent trap and it is extremely affordable while keeping sturdy quality.

Great Product, Good Value

AADPP November 10, 2013

Although there are all of the ways to make a Minnow Trap posted on YouTube, I decided to purchase this one because the price was so good and it looked like it would last for a long time. Because it is almost impossible to buy minnows after the summer is over, I wanted to be able to use minnows during the colder months. I have used his trap twice and it worked like a charm. I put white bread in it and sunk it by the boat dock for just an hour and had over 2 dozen minnows. If you like to fish with minnows and are unable to get them in the fall or winter, this is the answer! I read that using foam packing peanuts works just as well as bread, I will try that the next time I get any of them in a package.

A minnow trap that did the job

ShopperInTexas2 August 21, 2014

We bought minnow trap to capture a water moccasin snake living in our pond. With a six year old child living here we could not allow the snake to continue living there; much less a predator continuing to eat our fish. Within two days of putting the minnow trap in the pond and after the trap snared a couple of minnows the snake couldn't help but get snared itself. Objective accomplished. Thank you for the reasonable price and the quick delivery.

Good trap at good price. Quick ship

IMNAngler April 24, 2014

Needed minnow traps to stock a pond with some forage fish. Getting a good start. I bought three to try in a stream, liked them, and bought five more. They need to be tended daily. I found that baiting them makes a big difference. After rain events they collect silt, which is quickly removed by plunging them up and down a few times in the stream. Good trap.

Awesome Quality!!!

CtSteve September 6, 2014

The Frabill Minnow trap is very nice quality, and a great price. My son and I use it for minnows and crayfish. I like it so much I ordered another one.

Gotta have one!

Paul February 6, 2025

Necessity since my local bait shop closed. I prolly shoulda gotten one long ago. Had to get a little aquarium setup for convenience. Here, in Kentucky, we can have up to 500 baitfish.

So far so good

Floridafriend August 29, 2016

This trap replaced an old rusted one that we use in saltwater. It closes tightly enough to keep minnows inside, and it's just the right size for our small dock. We'll see how long the vinyl coating lasts, but at this price, we won't mind buying a new trap. Walmart's online shopping service made the purchase easy.

Inlet hole is small

Jacob September 14, 2025

Its a nice quality trap. Cannot lie about that. But the hole for the fish to get into is a bit ridiculous. Literally the size of a quarter, the big fat bait fish cant fit through that. Only the small ones you toss out can fit through a hole that size. Was wanting to catch some of those crawl dad's as well. Those definitely dont fit through there. Im sure it says in the description what size hole. But not everyone looks there
