**************Eel Trap Design and Recommendations - 03/09/18 07:01 PM
I've seen quite a few different eel trap designs online, ranging from open throats to cloth throats sewn to stay shut until an eel enters. I built this one, and I'd like some feedback by those that have trapped eels.
This one is about 10"x10"x48". The first throat is open, 2"x3". The second throat is 2"x3" with about 6" of 1/4" mesh sewn snug at the end.
What do you think about this design? Do you think it will work for eels, and do you have any design change recommendations? If I could change one thing, I would have used 1/2"x1/2", but 1/2"x1" is what I already had on hand....
Thanks
