I want to catch large live baits such as squirrel fish, porgies, croakers, small grunts etc, what Live Bait Fish trap do you recommend?
A. If you’re going strictly after the Big Bait, your best choice of traps would be the Jumbo Fisherman Plus and the Live Bait Condo. The Jumbo would be your best all around choice for trapping big live bait if you plan on leaving your trap out for more than 12 hrs. The Jumbo has 2 large coned entries for catching live bait which in turn only gives the bait fish 2 places to exit the trap. The “exit wall” version is not recommended for extra large live bait fish (8″ or more) because the exit wall makes it more difficult for the live bait to enter. The exit wall is a great feature which holds bait in the trap effectively but not designed for extra large bait fish (Exit wall explained in detail above). The Live Bait Condo is a great bait fish trap for catching all sizes of bait fish which does not even have the exit wall feature. This trap is designed specifically for short term trapping, ideally 6 hrs or less because of it’s 4 way entry. The 4 way entry is designed for the trap to fill up
