Quick take
This South Bend wire minnow trap lets you gather your own live bait before a day on the water. It is a 9-inch-wide, 16-1/2-inch-long cylinder of zinc-plated wire, sized to hold a good number of minnows. The two-piece body opens up for easy baiting and for removing your catch, and the plating suits freshwater or saltwater use.
