My favorite Promar trap is the collapsible, spring pop-out design TR-503. Priced at $17.99 these traps are the Cadillac of the line and are easy to handle and they store well for traveling. The traps have a zippered pocket for bait and also zippered access to your catch and they are only 24” x 12” in size and open automatically in one quick step. The dual entrances of this trap are 5” in size so the big boys have no problem entering for their last meal. To access the interior of the trap and the bait, the crawfish have to crawl though a mesh net opening and once inside they cannot exit with out completing a Houdini trick.
Promar also has a couple of less expensive traps like the steel mesh TR-601 which retails for only $9.99 or the TR-501 at $10.99 which is also collapsible and square shaped but both lack the mesh net at the entrance that traps the critters. These traps can be found at many tackle store that carry the Promar/AHI line or you can ask your favorite dealer to order them for you.
Here's EricO's daughter holding the TR-503...
