    The Frabill® Black Minnow Trap was what I expected. I use it in salt water to catch killies for bait. It works as advertised and I caught killies for my fluke fishing. There were only two problems.

    I dropped this trap into a school of minnows. I literally watched the minnows swim in and out of the holes all around the sides. Needs to be a tighter mesh material. I am going to try covering it with some screen material or maybe a pair of pantyhose to help keep the minnows in. In the mean time I am going to buy a net to scoop them up.

                This is the ideal product to use for catching bait the exact size we needed for fishing. The quality of the product is outstanding for we live in salt water conditions and it will not rust and deteriorate ove time. We are glad we purchased this product and we bought 2 more for spares!
                Keep up the quality of your products we the consumer appreciate it.
