The Only Z-Trap Purpose Built for Bullhead Catfish — With Trap Doors So Fish Go In and Don't Come Back Out
Want a Z-Trap that actually catches bullhead catfish? This is it. Our Bullhead Z-Trap features a 2"x3" opening with a built-in trap door — a feature no other seller offers. Fish swim in through the Z-shaped funnels and can't find their way back out.
What Makes This Trap Different:
Built-In Trap Door on 2"x3" Bullhead Opening: We build the trap door in during construction — once a bullhead is in, it stays in. No other seller does this.
Purpose Built for Bullhead: The 2"x3" opening is sized specifically for bullhead catfish — large enough to let them in, trap door keeps them from backing out.
3-Piece Z-Trap Construction: One folded unibody tube plus two Z-shaped funnel entrances — fish swim in through the funnels and can't find their way back out.
Stronger by Design: Unibody folded from a single piece of wire for maximum strength and durability.

Handmade in Missouri: Every trap is built by hand by a lifelong catfish angler who knows what works.
Choose Your Wire Option:
🔹 19 Gauge 1"x1/2" Cage Wire – $75
Lightweight and easy to handle. Proven performance at a great entry price point.
🔹 16 Gauge Galvanized Steel 1"x1/2" Cage Wire – $100
Thicker, stronger wire built for repeated use. Holds shape better long-term — the recommended spec for serious bullhead anglers.
🔹 Vinyl Coated – $115
Premium corrosion-resistant black coating for maximum longevity. Trap doors and bait boxes are intentionally built from bare galvanized wire — the silver finish attracts fish better than black vinyl coating at the critical entry points. Best of both worlds: VC durability with galvanized performance where it counts.
