The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview

Setting five traps at once across different spots along a shoreline beats relying on a single trap and hoping for the best. The 2 RCT 9 Bait Trap covers that scenario, shipping five pieces for $29.98, built from a blend material in a multi-color finish and labeled simply as a fishing trap. It is currently in stock.

On price alone, $29.98 for five traps works out to a fraction of the per-unit cost of any single trap in this comparison, including the Frabill 1272 at $19.99 for one. Its 4.4-star rating across 111 reviews matches the Frabill 1272's own 4.4 stars and comes close to the 4.5 stars on the Frabill 1271 and Gee-Feets G40. Demand looks strong too, with 600+ bought last month trailing only the Frabill 1272's 1,000+ and well ahead of the Frabill 1271's 50+ and the Gee-Feets G40's 100+.

The tradeoff is review volume. At 111 reviews, this set has a much smaller sample than the thousands logged by the Frabill and Gee-Feets traps, so the 4.4-star average, while matching one of the field's top scores, rests on less history. For anglers who want several traps at a low per-unit cost and are comfortable with a newer listing, the numbers here line up well.

Pros

  • Five traps for $29.98 gives a strong per-unit cost compared to single-unit rivals
  • 4.4-star rating matches the Frabill 1272 and comes close to the 4.5-star leaders
  • 600+ bought last month is the second-highest demand figure in this comparison
  • Multiple traps let anglers cover several spots on one outing
  • Currently in stock and ready to ship

Cons

  • 111 reviews is a much smaller sample than the thousands behind the Frabill and Gee-Feets traps
  • No dimensions or weight listed for the individual traps
  • Blend material and multi-color finish are broad descriptors compared to the Gee-Feets G40's more specific plastic material and galvanized color listing
  • 600+ bought last month still trails the Frabill 1272's 1,000+

Performance notes

Shipping five traps in one order changes the value calculation compared to single-unit competitors. Even without individual weight or dimension specs listed, five traps for $29.98 means each unit costs roughly six dollars, a fraction of what a single Frabill 1271 or Gee-Feets G40 costs on its own. That kind of quantity favors anglers who want to set traps in multiple spots along a shoreline or dock at the same time rather than relying on one trap and moving it between locations. The blend material used here matches the Frabill 1271 and Frabill 1272, both also listed as Blend, so the build itself is not a departure from the category, just packaged as a larger set. What stands out most is the demand signal: 600+ bought last month is the second-highest figure among the traps compared here, trailing only the Frabill 1272's 1,000+, which suggests this set is moving briskly despite its comparatively short review history.

What buyers say

A 4.4-star average across 111 reviews matches the Frabill 1272's own 4.4-star mark and sits just short of the 4.5 stars posted by the Frabill 1271 and Gee-Feets G40, a strong showing for a listing with a comparatively small review count. The standout figure is demand: 600+ bought last month trails only the Frabill 1272's 1,000+ and beats the Frabill 1271's 50+ and the Gee-Feets G40's 100+ by a wide margin. That combination, a high rating paired with strong recent purchase volume but a thinner review history, suggests a listing that is newer or moving faster than its review count alone would indicate, with buyer satisfaction so far tracking close to the category's top performers.

Frequently asked questions

How many traps come in the 2 RCT 9 Bait Trap listing?

This listing ships five pieces for $29.98 total, which works out to a low per-unit cost compared to single-trap listings like the Frabill 1271 at $22.00 or the Gee-Feets G40 at $31.99 for just one trap. That makes it a strong pick for anglers setting multiple traps.

Is the 4.4-star rating reliable with only 111 reviews?

It is a smaller sample than the Frabill 1272's 7,700 reviews or the Gee-Feets G40's 3,100, so there is more room for the average to shift. Paired with 600+ bought last month, though, it points to strong recent momentum rather than a fluke.

How does demand for this set compare to other bait traps?

At 600+ bought last month, it trails only the Frabill 1272's 1,000+ among the traps compared here, and it far outpaces the Frabill 1271's 50+ and the Gee-Feets G40's 100+, suggesting the five-trap format and price are resonating with buyers.
