minnow trap
Small fish snare
A minnow trap is a small wire or mesh cage designed to catch minnows and other small fish for use as bait.
The trap typically has funnel-shaped openings that allow fish to swim in but make escape difficult.
Anglers bait them with bread or crackers and leave them submerged overnight: Check the minnow trap before we head out.
