## Overview

The Frabill Torpedo Crawfish Trap is a rugged, two-piece steel mesh trap designed for both calm and fast-moving waters. Measuring 10" x 9.75" x 9", it features a torpedo shape for optimal water flow, a black vinyl coating for camouflage and corrosion resistance, and a spring clip closure for secure baiting and catch retrieval. Trusted by anglers since 1938, this trap delivers high performance and family-friendly fun, proven to catch up to 40 crawfish at a time.

## Description

Whatever you call them – crawfish, crayfish, mudbugs or crawdads – this trap will find them. The two-piece design easily separates to facilitate easy baiting and catch removal, with a torpedo shape that works through heavy currents and calm waters alike.

Review: Well built, sturdy, and effective. - I bought this product to catch crawdads in the irrigation canals near my home. I have only used one other trap before, a smaller square trap that I don't like as much as these. I originally bought two traps last summer and have used them almost constantly in the warmer months (when the canal is full). I ordered two more this summer because my son and his cousins have had so much fun with them. The traps arrived on time and are well built. The rubber coating is good for corrosion protection. The clip that holds them together appears to be stainless and is very sturdy. It is designed to keep the trap closed, hold the two pieces together, and have a rope tied to it. I did have an issue with the second order that was resolved quickly by their customer service. The only problem I have with this trap is when you open it there is nothing to hold the two halves together. I actually dropped one of the halves into the water and nearly lost it last year. Luckily there was no current and the water was only for feet deep. I have fixed this problem by using a short piece of 12 gauge insulated solid copper wire to attach the two pieces of the cage together between the hinge points. Overall this has been a great product. We have caught up to 40 crawdads at a time in one trap using hot dogs as bait. Very fun. Would and did buy again.
Review: You won't be disappointed and your kids will love the adventure! - This Crawfish trap gave 6 grandchildren and many more kids at a Tahoe beach 8 days of incredible fun and adventure! It was easy to set up and reopen to retrieve and then quickly release the crawfish. A simple piece of salami or hotdog stayed in the trap all day. Our grandkids ages 5-13 said it was one of the highlights of the trip!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice for the Price
*by P***D on May 16, 2026*

This trap is actually better than I thought it would be. The mesh and the frame are sturdy and the size is fine for crayfish--a lot of crayfish. I'm not fond of the way the two halves go together, mainly held in place by a large safety pin sort of clip which is a devil to open and close when wet. I may end up fabricating my own clips for it. My usage was an attempt to capture and identify the crayfish species that colonized my garden pond many years ago, continuing to survive wash outs, turtles, and water snakes. Amazing little critters.
