- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- We did the ultimate test to find out if it is worth dropping some serious money on a premium mullet bait trap. the traps we used are as follows:
1) Juice Container $1.80
2) Tuppareware container $8.0 (half price sale)
3) Sure Catch bait trap from BCF $10
4) Premium Reel It In Deluxe Live Bait Trap $130

If you want to jump to 8:30mins you'll get straight to the results.
Plenty of videos coming in the near future so if you liked it give us a follow. we are also on Instagram and TIKTOK.

Bait traps for us that can't throw a cast net , awesome video. Thanks for sharing ❤
I’d love to use a cast net haha I’d have my bait in 10 seconds, although I’d also clear them out just as fast haha
@Twoblokesfishing I'd probably do some injury attempting to throw a net, haha. Definitely gonna try your method.
I was interested until you used better burley in the expensive trap, how about using bread crumbs in that and good burley in the plastic container, or don't the sponsors like that?
@@GRAEMEBROWN-ur5ph haha it wouldn’t be 1 dollar vs 130 if I didn’t use better burley
Incorrect. The test is on the trap, not the burley. When you change the bait type, the length of time the trap is left out, you invalidate any of the testing data.
Your premise was the testing results of the price difference of traps. Don't change two other variables.
Cut the top off the juice bottle , turn it around and re attach to the bottom with some sparky ties so the entrance is now funnel shaped.
Even better if you get two bottles and do the same but also cut the bottoms off and join the two together so it resembles the old school sure catch poddy trap.
The bigger the plastic bottles the better.
@@cjod33 that’s a cracking idea! Might have seen something similar on alone haha
Great video boys! That brought back some nostalgic childhood memories of catching the bait for the adults haha
Cheers, 100 percent good memories haha
Would be nice to have a rope attached, don't go wading to much in the NT, and less messy than a net. Also had a few jelly fish stings when clearing a cast net
Haha oh yea I never even considered teeth, a rope would be great!
I want to see the sistema container with the expensive burley
I think I’m going to do another vid with that in mind, plus cheap burley in the expensive one and possible try and get a glass bottle to use
That was very scientific - sorta - I wish you could do something else with the Toadies..
Thanks - very educational!
The toadies are evvvverywhere!! Surely there is something we can use them for?!
Have seen toadies used as blue swimmer crab baits and worked ok
Just get an acrylic/perspex place to cut you the pieces you want and glue them together, save a lot
@@justme.9711 I’d be interested how much that would cost to do
@@Twoblokesfishing It should be at least half the price and you can make some form of funnel, even just an inch would help. I'd have 2.5 - 3 inches long/deep entrance and I think clear is a BIG advantage. No one says you only need one entrance either. 2' long, 1.5' wide, 8'' - 12'' high and drain holes around half way up. Maybe 20 holes 10mm dia.
@@Twoblokesfishing I'm on the central coast of NSW, where are you?
My mix - bread crumb, a sprinkle of garlic powder, a dash of tuna oil and a few drops of aniseed if you have it.
@@DrFelonious giving it a go 💯
As a kid, I used to use the Surecatch type trap in the late 1970s to catch mullet and herring. They work a treat. We would crumb the bread ourselves or use small bread bits at a pinch.
@@timroberts69 nice! I need to use more of my left over bread
@@Twoblokesfishing Yeah you can just put it in a blender. Some come with a setting that does breadcrumbs I think. You can probably google it. It was a long time ago and my mother did the bread crumbs or we just use small pieces of bread. The only setback is you end up with soggy bread that the fish don't eat.
@@timroberts69 I’m definitely looking into that! Thanks
The biggest difference was the bait
might have to do a follow up using only the mullet mix
i agree, to be fair to the other cheaper traps you need to use the same mix in all to be able to compare. you would expect the expensive trap would catch a lot more because of its physical size (holding capacity)
@@davidgoonpan4286I think it’s pretty fair, if you have the coin you can catch a few more. If you don’t you can still catch them pretty easily.
I think the biggest takeaway here is bigger is better and so is clarity. I have great success with an old vege oil bottle (much like a juice bottle but bigger and more rigid). I think I might have to find a nice and clear tupperware containter because that is the best in my eyes. good video.
💯 Seems like there is a lot of people saying big glass bottles are awesome as well. I’d be keen to see how they go
In the 60s I used a one pint milk bottle with a string around the top to snatch it in. The flathead loved my method.
Good ol glass bottles
We used to use a fluro tube with the end cut off. New ones don't have a big enough diameter though. Any clear tube would work.
There’s so many options out there
Love the video can’t wait to see more content!!
cheers, plenty more to come!

Nice vid 👌
Worth a go
Great vid! I use the tupperware idea. I find I only get 1 or seasons out of it because the plastic goes murky/unclear and makes the trap ineffective. A clear trap always works best. Does the "reel it in" perspex get murky over time?
Yep agree 💯 it hasn’t yet but only had it about 6months-1year. I’ll get back to you once I’ve used it more than about the 10 times I’ve used it
@@Twoblokesfishing Thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
Wouldn't knock the 2L juice bottle with a slice of bread mate, I was getting 16cm - 18cm mullet (about 10) and was catching plenty of big flatties (biggest being 98cm when I was 11)
Yea I’m sure it would work well enough, but if I had all the options I’d still go something else
Great vid mate. So interesting
🍻
As a kid we used as first choice the old oyster bottles and second choice milk bottles. Both were great although you clearly wouldn’t get those bigger mullet
Yea but I bet you’d clean up on the small guys
What did you put in the Tupperware trap? Was it breadcrumbs or the mullet bait
@@calvindt just the basic bread crumbs
too many crocodiles in my area to do this. Cast net only. Love the idea for kids though, and a bothersome friend who cannot cast a net.
Hahaha 🤣
Epic comparison
🤙
50 years ago we used to use an oyster bottle with a bit of bread in the end …
Might have to track one down
What sunnies are you wearing mate?
@lxdsunglasses
hi . i thought fish traps are illegal ?
You can have one
What’s that bait mage from
The bread crumbs?
Is there a size limit of the actual trap guys I am in nsw
Sorry missed this message, I believe it’s just the opening size that has a limit
is this pittwater ???
Nah mate central coast
Which bay on Central Coast, interested in a visit
Would email do, instead of broadcasting it?
@@PeterMatthews-x2i dm me on Instagram and ill drop a pin for you
That looks like some nice sand flats to throw some lures over for whiting and flatties.
@@Lucifurion plenty of good flatties!
That primo bait catcher should be Half the price
Might be a sale every now and then?
I’d buy some Perspex and make my own for a fraction of the price.
I'll tell you something about regulations. Fuck regulations but for the Jew I still have half a dozen of the old glass milk bottles there brilliant cause they don't float or scratch much and the mullet just swim straight in 👍
I’d love to get my hands on a glass bottle. My old man used to use them and swears by it!
Glass mixing bowl and make a lid for it
@@Alex-zs4vb2lt5c that’s a good one
@Twoblokesfishing I can't even claim credit for that -- Roger Osborne used the glass mixing bowl in one of his videos! It stands to reason that we use something see-through like a plastic bottle for a reason so that making it more see-through has to work... but we can't say that until you repeat the whole thing using exactly the same bait ;)
@@Alex-zs4vb2lt5c haha I’ll get onto it
Anyone ever use blowie tail as flathead bait?
Really!?
Works over here in WA anyway
About the best bait you can use
Just skin it back and give it a try
I have an expensive trap. Buggered if I can get a mullet to swim into it.
@@mudgut69 really! Are there mullet in the area? Only thing I can think of is maybe you are putting too much burley outside the trap
@@Twoblokesfishing yeah it’s Yamba. Heaps of mullet. Also heaps of small Bream. I’ve heard that if other species are in and around your trap the mullet shy away. Possibly I am putting too much burley around the outside. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for replying guys.
@@mudgut69 another alternative is to get the smallest hook and a little float and cast just near the trap
@@danejames7098 yea location helps a lot doesn’t it
A lot of shit happenin '
@@scetchport haha
60mm diameter circle not a box. A diameter is a straight line through a circle . Youre bait traps are illegal.
womp womp
@@RideSlide13 ah yea true
