2 Pack Fishing net Trap Foldable Crawfish Bait Trap nets Review
Our verdict
At $9.97 for two, this Foldable Crawfish Bait Trap set is the cheapest option in this comparison by a wide margin, but its 3.2 star rating across just 13 reviews is also the lowest and thinnest track record here, so the low price comes with real uncertainty.

Budget-minded anglers who want two small, 17.7 by 8.7 inch nylon mesh traps for casual crawfish trapping and are comfortable trying a product with only 13 reviews on record so far.
Skip if
Skip it if you want a proven track record, since 13 reviews is far too small a sample to rely on and its 3.2 star average is noticeably lower than every other trap in this comparison, which all score 4.1 stars or higher.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Sometimes the goal is just a cheap, disposable trap for an occasional crawfish trip, and this 2 Pack Foldable Crawfish Bait Trap set is built for that at $9.97, well under half the price of any other trap in this comparison.
The traps are made from nylon mesh and plastic, sized at 17.7 by 8.7 inches, and come in green, a lighter and smaller build than the alloy steel or poly and stainless steel traps also covered here. That lighter construction likely explains part of the low price, but it comes paired with a 3.2 star rating across only 13 reviews, both the lowest score and the smallest sample size among the traps compared.
Bought last month is listed at 200+, tying the unbranded 24 inch folding trap for the highest demand figure in this group, which is a little surprising given the low rating and thin review count. That combination, cheap price and decent recent purchase volume but a weak, small review history, makes this a trap to consider only if the low upfront cost matters more than a proven reputation. Anyone who wants a rating backed by hundreds or thousands of reviews should choose one of the Frabill or Gee-Feets traps instead.
Pros
- $9.97 price for two traps is far below every other option in this comparison
- 17.7 by 8.7 inch nylon mesh and plastic build keeps the traps light
- 200+ bought last month ties the highest recent demand figure in this group
- Foldable design for compact storage
- Comes as a 2 pack, giving a spare trap for the price of one elsewhere
Cons
- 3.2 star rating is the lowest of every trap in this comparison
- Only 13 total reviews, far too small a sample to draw firm conclusions from
- Nylon mesh and plastic build is lighter duty than the steel or stainless traps here
- No weight specification listed to compare durability

Performance notes
Nylon mesh over a plastic frame is a lighter, less rigid build than the alloy steel, steel and nylon, or stainless steel materials used in the other traps in this comparison, which typically means less resistance to snagging on rocks or being crushed underfoot but also a lighter carry and lower manufacturing cost. At 17.7 by 8.7 inches, these traps are smaller than the 24 inch or 32 by 10 inch options covered elsewhere, making them easier to pack for a quick trip but limiting how much bait or catch they can hold at once. Selling as a 2 pack for $9.97 means a second trap is included at a price point where competitors charge for just one, which can offset some of the durability tradeoff by letting a buyer set two traps or keep a spare on hand.
What buyers say
A 3.2 star average is a meaningful step down from every other trap in this comparison, all of which sit at 4.1 stars or higher, and 13 total reviews is a small enough sample that the rating could shift quickly with a handful of new reviews in either direction. What stands out is the 200+ bought last month figure, which ties the top demand level in this group despite the weaker rating, suggesting the low price is driving purchases faster than reviews are accumulating. Read together, the pattern suggests a trap that sells on price rather than reputation, with the reputation still very much unproven.

Frequently asked questions
How many reviews does this crawfish trap have?
It has 13 reviews at a 3.2 star average, the smallest and lowest-rated combination among the traps in this comparison. That's a thin sample size, so the rating carries less statistical weight than the Frabill 1272's 7,700 reviews or the Gee-Feets G40's 3,100.
What size are these crawfish traps?
Each trap in the 2 pack measures 17.7 by 8.7 inches and is built from nylon mesh and plastic in green. That's a smaller, lighter build than the 24 inch or 32 by 10 inch traps also covered in this comparison.
Is $9.97 a good price for two traps?
It's the lowest price by far among the traps compared here, less than half the Frabill 1272's $19.99. The tradeoff is a 3.2 star rating from only 13 reviews, so the savings come with a much less proven track record.
