crawfish trap

Mudpug capture device

A crawfish trap is a wire or mesh cage designed to catch crawfish, typically baited and submerged in shallow freshwater.

The funnel-shaped openings allow crawfish to enter but make escape difficult.

Commercial and recreational trappers check them regularly to harvest the catch.

Also called a crawfish pot or crayfish trap.
