Buying bait by the dozen adds up fast, and the lake doesn't always have a shop nearby. A rigid wire trap is a pain to haul and a folding mesh sock tangles the second you toss it. You want lively bait and a fresh batch of shrimp or crawfish without a trunk full of bulky gear.
This collapsible hoop bait trap solves it. A springy stainless-steel frame folds flat like an umbrella for the tackle bag, then pops open into a wide round hoop the moment you set it. Drop it off a dock, boat or kayak, bait the center, and the fine soft mesh funnels minnows, shrimp, crab, eel and crawfish in while letting water flow through so the net sinks and settles fast. Lift it by the bridle line and your catch rides up in the bowl of the net instead of slipping out the side.
The mesh is a tight, knotless soft weave that's gentle on bait so minnows stay frisky, and the rust-resistant frame and floating-friendly rope shrug off freshwater and saltwater alike. It rinses clean, drips dry in minutes, and twists back down to a flat coil that stows behind a seat. Comes ready to fish with the haul rope attached.
- Springy stainless-steel hoop frame folds flat, pops open instantly

How to use: 1) Place cut bait or a bait cage in the center pocket. 2) Lower flat off a dock, boat or kayak by the rope and let it settle. 3) Wait a few minutes, then lift straight up by the bridle to trap your catch.
What Verified Customers Say
I keep a few dozen minnows going all weekend on the bank now instead of running to the bait shop twice a day. Drop it by the dock, toss some bread in the middle, lift it in ten minutes and there's my bait. Folds flat enough to live in my tackle bag.
Fishes great from the kayak. It collapses down small enough to slide in the front hatch, then snaps open the second I pull it out. Caught a load of shrimp off the channel my first morning out. Mesh is soft so the bait stays lively.
Run it off the back of my boat for crab and crawfish. The stainless frame is holding up to saltwater way better than the cheap rusty one I had before. Rinse it, it dries in a few minutes, coils right back down.
Bought it to take my two boys out catching crawdads in the creek. They love dropping it and hauling it up to see what's in there. Easy enough that the 7 year old works it himself. Good cheap fun.
Upgraded from a folding sock net that tangled every single throw. This hoop just drops flat and opens clean, no fighting it. Wish the rope was a touch longer for deeper water but I tied on extra and it's perfect now.
Got this for my father-in-law who fishes for eel and minnows on the river. He says it sets fast and the catch rides up in the bowl instead of falling out the side like his old one. Solid little net for the price.
