Choose Your Wire:

• 19ga — Standard weight. Lightweight, rigid, and rust-resistant. Great for casual and seasonal use.
• 16ga Galvanized — Heavy duty. Thicker, stiffer frame built for frequent use and tough conditions.
• 16ga Vinyl Coated — Premium. Same heavy frame with a vinyl coating for maximum rust and corrosion resistance. Best for long-term use and outdoor storage.

19ga — Standard
Lightweight 19-gauge galvanized-after-welding (GAW) wire with corrosion protection at every weld point. The bare silver finish is naturally attractive to baitfish — a proven advantage in the water. A classic rectangular design that fits tight spots where a larger trap won't.

16ga Galvanized — Heavy Duty
Heavier 16-gauge galvanized wire for a stiffer, more durable frame. The bare silver finish keeps baitfish coming in naturally. Built for frequent trappers who need a dependable traditional design that holds up season after season.

16ga Vinyl Coated — Premium
Same heavy 16-gauge frame wrapped in a protective vinyl coating for long-term rust and corrosion resistance. Built for anglers who want to buy once and never think about it again.
