Nets & More Catfish Trap — 30" Wide, 7 ft Long with Nyglass Hoops (1" Mesh, 5 Hoops)

Overview

Built in the United States from rugged #15 nylon netting, the Nets & More Catfish Trap is designed for dependable performance in a range of freshwater environments. Five Nyglass hoops give the trap a stable, rigid frame that resists wobble when placed in current, while remaining flexible enough to withstand handling and transport. The tight weave of the netting balances catching potential with long-term durability, so you can rely on a tool that feels steady in the water and steady in your hands on land.

The trap’s geometry features two throats at the front and a finger throat toward the tail. This arrangement helps guide catfish toward the central capture area and reduces the chance of early escapement. Sized at 30 inches wide and 7 feet long, the setup is compact enough for shorelines and small boats, yet expansive enough to accommodate a practical catch in many freshwater settings.

Material choices emphasize longevity. Nyglass hoops provide a sturdy backbone without excessive weight, while a tar-based netcoat adds abrasion resistance and helps slow rot in variable water conditions. The #15 nylon netting combines strength with a degree of flexibility, helping the trap stand up to vegetation, rocky bottoms, and occasional snagging while remaining easy to handle during retrieval.
