@804sodium I agree, don't let the jerks discourage you... Great video... two suggestions. One, use a small drill bite to make your hole, does away with the torch, nail and wood... second use fishing line instead of wire.. much easier to weave.

@Kevis007vidz Minnows are great for fishing bait

[PweezyG81]

Cool vid man

[ghost173335]

nice

[richie123456789abcd]

can you put food in there? if so what kind of food to catch the little fish?

[hibutthead1]

@MrMrSmith85 yup it is

[DENMONKEY]

Nice one. Need to check what a half inch is though :)

@budda1125

I agree with everything plus a third suggestion: if you have two bottles you should use the top of both bottles so that you can unscrew the top to pull the minnows out and set the trap back in the water

@TheFanboyjeff It really works great!!!!!!!

[TheFanboyjeff]

Thxs. IT WORKS!

[MrMrSmith85]

@hibutthead1 OK, my mistake then.

[hibutthead1]

@MrMrSmith85 thats not tru the only dif thing bout this is dat the bottm is foldd in & it cant be easyr 4 them 2 swim out of elz i wouldnt catch so many 4 bait

[MrMrSmith85]

@Kevis007vidz He said bait fish in the vid.

[MrMrSmith85]

@hibutthead1 You could, but that would be a lot easier for the fish to swim out of, and somewhat harder for them to swim into.

[FootballPyro2069]

damn u made it way too complicated than it needs to be

[hibutthead1]

u kno u can jst take a full bottl & put bread crumbs or somfin in it and put it in da watr

[1newtontexas]

Cool video. You could staple the bottles together, too. I'll try your model

[Kevis007vidz]

why the hell would you want minnows?

[FordGuy132]

I find the cone fits in better (nice and tightly) without the little slit

[jakeAkendrick1]

@oldtrout111 why would you release them the whole point of this video is to keep them for bait and jakesta1147 was takin about the other half of the bottle.

[DevilTwisted]

Just a suggestion but for your future descriptions include the materials and fantastic guide!

[ERuheJrFitness]

good job! I need to make one of these. I like to fish and minnows get expensive. Thanks.

[oldtrout111]

@jakesta1147

your supposed to keep the cap on.............unless you want to release your bait on good behaviour.

[oldtrout111]

i think you did pretty darn good!

thanks
