MORE ON CRAWFISH TRAPS👇🦞 A crawfish trap is designed to catch crawfish in their natural habitat - the mud, sand and grassy bottom of streams, rivers and ponds. It has three key components: the inlet, the outlet and the escape holes. The inlet is where the crawfish enter the trap, attracted by the bait inside. The outlet is where you remove the catch and the escape holes allow undersized or unwanted catch to escape, ensuring that only the finest, most succulent crawfish make it to your plate! �
