Eagle Claw Crawfish Trap

The Eagle Claw Crawfish Trap is a wire-constructed trap designed for anglers and crawfish enthusiasts who want a reliable, no-fuss way to catch crawdads for bait, food, or live wells. Built with black vinyl-coated wire, this trap combines durability with practical functionality—it's engineered to withstand repeated use in freshwater environments without rust or deterioration.

What makes this trap user-friendly is its two-piece design. The halves are held together with a single clip that you unlock to load bait and retrieve your catch, eliminating the need for complicated assembly or disassembly in the field. When you're done for the day, the two halves nest together for compact storage—a real space saver in a garage, shed, or boat locker.

The trap features cone-shaped inward entrances at each end, a classic crawfish-trap design that funnels crawdads through 1-inch openings into the cage. Once inside, they can't easily find their way back out. At 16½ inches long with a 9-inch center diameter and 7-inch end diameter, it's sized to work in streams, ponds, and shallow lakes without being unwieldy to haul.

Whether you're a catfish angler who needs live crawfish as premium bait, a crawdad boil enthusiast, or someone managing a live well, the Eagle Claw Crawfish Trap does one job well: it catches crawfish and keeps them alive until you're ready to use them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size crawdads will this trap catch?

The 1-inch entrance openings are sized to allow crawdads to enter while preventing escape. The trap works best for standard crawfish sizes; very small juveniles may slip through, while oversized crawdads may have difficulty entering.

Can I use this trap in saltwater?

The vinyl-coated wire provides corrosion resistance, but the trap is designed and marketed for freshwater use. We recommend using it in freshwater streams, ponds, and lakes.

How do I bait and empty the trap?

The two halves are held together by a single clip. Unlock the clip to separate the halves, add bait and crawdads, then clip them back together. This simple design makes it fast to load and unload without tools.

Does it store compactly?

Yes—the two halves nest inside each other when not in use, making it easy to store in a boat, truck bed, or garage without taking up much space.
