Help Please

I am trying to trace a tackle shop that I saw advertising minnow traps, crayfish traps etc. I believe that they were located somewhere in Sussex.There may have been a link to them from this site , but I'm afraid I can't find it. Thanks.

Are these the plastic minnow traps you used to get that fit over the top of a jam jar?

If you could find a supplier of these I would like details to.

No Tony, the type of trap I'm refering to was somewhat like a small mesh keepnet with internal funnel system . They were not too expensive if I recall correctly.

[Tony U]

I remember the sort, they were not a cheap as the type that fit on the jam jar, but I have not seen either for years

I bought mine cheap on Ebay. Took a while to arrive from the states but cost less than a tenner all in.

Many thanks Tony.... that's the site !!!

They look pretty good to me, how would one use these minnow traps? Put some sort of bait in?

[Tony U]

I think you put bread or ground bait in the trap the minnows swm in to eat the bait but can not swim back out.

There'a a pouch inside the trap into which you insert bait , maggots etc. As Tony said , the minnows can swim in but not out...
