What mesh do you use ?

[@pawnstarsallstar]

Nice design I like the I like the automatic door nice and if you need to explain how to use this trap they probably shouldnt even build it just tell them what kind of Bait do you use what works best for perch or spot and they swim in through those 4 doors in the middle of the cage Have you ever tried cat food it works whats your favorite cat food too use dry or the can what brand flavor chicken flavor can works in the crab cage too just bust holes in the can

What is the type of wire you use. I use mesh that rusts too soon.

[@williamcolvin3609]

That is the same thing I was wondering about - it looks a lot heavier than chicken wire or hardware cloth.

I spray mine with a rubber coating similar to that flex seal stuff.... a lite coat will go a ways for saving the metal and they also sell coated mesh for these reasons, but I would just spray it...plus that spray comes in handy for tons of other things...

how the fish enter to your trap?? coz i dont see any entrance for the fish

[@williamcolvin3609]

Should be where the rounded lobes come together - but it does not look like they have been opened up. Some State Wildlife Departments will provide the plans with the Legal Bait Trap Demensions for that state on their website.

Where does the fish enter the trap?

[@williamcolvin3609]

Watch the video and listen closely at 3 minutes and 20 seconds and he tells where it will be wnen the trap is finished.

How much did that whole roll cost u?

[@williamcolvin3609]

It will depend on the total width and the larger length the cheaper it is per foot. The wire comes in 6 inch lengths after one foot and can go up to six feet wide two foot size and 30 inch widths are probably the most used. Decide the size and google search it 3/4 mesh poultry wire or 1/2 square mesh Hardware Cloth. I use Tractor Supply,Atwoods Farm and Ranch or Ebay sometimes is cheaper. If you use Ebay use the Buy It Now option and Price plus Shipping Lowest First when you do a search and use U.S. Only since over seas shipping would be very expensive.

where are the doors to enter

[@williamcolvin3609]

Should be where the rounded lobes come together - but it does not show to be spread open in the video. Most places that describe the Cloverleaf Bait Trap will usually give size hole for different states. Different states have different specifications for legal hole size and total trap size.
