## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing little trap
*by T***S on September 26, 2019*

So I am a snake enthusiast, and I also have cats. Unfortunately one of my cats sat on top of a cage, and my little milk snake got out. I have been trying to catch the little guy for about two months now. I picked this up thinking I could capture him and get him back in his home.I know he was under my sink, so I put the cage in there with a tasty little morsel. It was less than 24 hours and I was able to catch him. I looked to check the trap today, and saw the food was gone. I was trying to figure out how he got back out, but nope his slithery little butt was still in the cage.I was able to get him into one of my racks (As opposed to his cage), and he is all settled back in after his adventures in the great outdoors.This is a great trap to help catch snakes, though I cannot comment on how it works for minnows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lets go Fishin
*by T***H on June 13, 2016*

I purchased this item for my dad for fathers day and it seemed to have great reviews as far as being a great bait catcher.It is sturdy construction and the metal has a plastic coating on it.I was a little worried about durability in the water for a long time due to some of the other minnow traps I seen online but this one seems like it can handle the challenge.It also has a door that slides on the side for easy access.I want to brag on the company that makes this item Plano manufacturing i had to call to get a new spring for the door because dummy me stretched it out as soon as i got it my fault not the products and they responded very quickly to my emails and sent me out a new spring at no cost to me sent via ups.So overall great customer service!! which today is hard to come by.I would defiantly purchase any of this company's products again. ( NOTE PICTURE WITH THE SPRING ON THE DOOR IS OLD SPRING NEW SPRING IS MUCH TIGHTER AS IT SHOULD BE)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice design, worth the money.
*by K***R on December 5, 2015*

This is a really nice minnow trap. I was a little worried about spending so much as compaired to other traps but it is a good design and I'm glad I bought this one. I'm using it in tidal creeks to catch mud minnows. I bait it up with a couple dead finger mullet sliced up a bit or a balled up piece of bread. Both seem to work. I point the funnel end down stream ( at low or falling tide ) and leave it for an hour or two. I cant believe how many minnows get in this trap. I cull out the small ones and have more than I need for the rest of the day. The side door is nice to use and provides a nice big opening for getting your bait out. It is much more conveniant dumping the minnows into the hatch on my minnow bucket than the funnel types I have had in the past. No more stuck minnows in the narrow crease at the cone end. I will be buying another one of these when the time comes.
