Handcrafted to Order — How We Build

Every Trap Is Built by Hand. Here's What That Means for You.

Bankpole Fever is a small, Missouri-based operation. Every trap that leaves our shop is built by hand, one at a time, to order. We're not a factory. We don't run assembly lines or pull from a warehouse full of pre-made inventory.

What you're getting is a trap that was cut, bent, clipped, and inspected specifically for your order — built to last, not built to move fast off a shelf.

Processing Times

Because every trap is handcrafted to order, we ask for the following build windows before your order ships:

  • 1–2 traps: 5–7 business days
  • 3 or more traps: 7–10 business days

We build in focused sessions to maintain quality and consistency. Rushing a wire trap leads to weak seams and sloppy clips — and that's not what we do.

Why It's Worth the Wait

Mass-produced traps are stamped, folded, and shipped by the thousands. Ours aren't. Every clip is set by hand. Every seam is checked. Every trap leaves here ready to fish.

If you need it fast, reach out before ordering and we'll do our best to accommodate.
