Cylindrical-, conical- and beehive-shaped traps are all better options. Avoid using square-shaped traps as these can catch on rocks at the bottom of the water and become trapped or broken.There are 2 main types of traps: open traps, which are basically collapsible nets that are open on one end, and closed traps, a more advanced variety with a funnel on one end which allows the crawfish to enter the trap, but prevents them from escaping.So if you want to feed your friends and family a crawfish feast, this is the way to go.
