Quick take

Small spring-lid bait traps for catching live minnows, eels, shrimp, and crawfish.

This red stainless steel bait cage has a spring lid and comes in a small size, about 4 cm, for holding live bait such as minnows, shrimp or crawfish. Two springs at its base help control how bait is released from the cage. At about 1.28 ounces, it is light enough to carry in a tackle box for a day on the water.
