Quick take

A 12x10x9.1-inch galvanized steel minnow trap with funnel entry for capturing live bait.

The Eagle Claw AMTG is a galvanized wire minnow trap for collecting your own live bait. It is a single trap that ships in a package about 12 x 10 x 9.1 inches and weighs 3.36 ounces. Anglers who fish with minnows, whether for walleye, bass or panfish, can set it in shallow water and have bait on hand for the next trip.

Best for

  • Collecting live minnows for bait fishing
  • Soaking overnight in ponds, lakes, or slow rivers
  • Anglers building a supply of shiners or small minnows

Skip if

  • You purchase live bait from a shop
  • You fish exclusively with artificial lures

Strengths

  • Galvanized steel endures many seasons without rusting
  • Funnel design reliably traps minnows while preventing escape
  • Passive operation requires only overnight soaking

Trade-offs

  • Requires scouting locations and waiting overnight for results
