Awesome! I have a ball trapping and jigging bait. What are you using for a trap?

Upload the pic to a photo site ( Like Photobucket) Copy the URL and come back here and hit the button that is second row second in. In the middle insert the URL you copyed. And you should have pic. If you use Photobucket they like to put things at the end that dont belong.It starts with a ? mark. Hope this helps. :tipup:

By modifying the holes on the traps, what did you do??

took some tinsnips and cut a few spots and bent the metal back so it wouldn't be to jagged, made the hole about a inch wider. it works ok i have now got about a dozen 4 to 6 inch goldens
