Gee-Feets G40 Minnow Trap

Overview

The Gee-Feets G40 is a plastic bait trap sold in a 2-pack, sized large and finished in a galvanized-look color, aimed at catching panfish and bass for bait.

Bait traps like this work by luring small fish or crawdads through funnel openings they cannot easily swim back out of, a common way anglers stock up on live bait before a trip. At 8.16 ounces each, this is a lightweight plastic trap rather than a heavier wire minnow trap. The 2-pack format lets anglers set traps in two spots at once or keep one as backup.

• 2-pack of bait traps
• Large size, plastic construction
• About 8.16 ounces each
• Aimed at panfish and bass bait

Who it's for

Anglers who catch their own panfish or bass bait rather than buying it, and want two lightweight traps to set at once. Anyone needing a heavy-duty wire trap for rougher conditions may want a metal alternative instead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Each trap weighs about 8.16 ounces and is sized large, built from plastic rather than metal wire. That keeps the pair light to carry and set, though plastic traps generally hold up less well to rough handling than wire minnow traps.
