You have to be patient and have the trap baited well to draw the minnows to the trap.

Answer: No. Mine got bent up doing that. Works great in lakes though.

Product reviews of Goture Portable Folded Fishing Net Fish Shrimp Minnow Crayfish Crab Baits Cast Mesh Trap Automatic

Joe dirt : Not good

I love the design. Net looks strong. Only issue is when I opened it the metal was already broken on on frame.

Tyler Hays : Very fragile

This item is the most flimsy metal you could imagine. It broke before I even used it. Don’t let the cheap price trick you into paying for this junk.

Amazon Customer : ????

????

Roryson : Caught lots of shrimp, broke first time using it

the holes are big enough for large fish to get in, a catfish got in the net drug it all around the bottom until it got snagged and ripped it apart first time using it. EXTREMELY cheap, but if it's on a clean bottom i'm sure it would last a while.

Phyllis Coulter : This is junk, buy something else.

This was a piece of junk that got holes in it after 1st use. Don't waste your money here. I was using it in a still pond with no current and a fairly smooth bottom surface. I was highly disappointed.and will never buy a product from here again. Luckily I had paid for it with a gift card I got from the Red Cross for donating blood.

Kelly : Not Durable

The rope snapped and we lost the net the first time we tried to check it. Very disappointed. Amazon wants me to return it and that is not possible because it is lost in the inter coastal waterway. I can’t recommend this product unfortunately.

KM : My kids love this

My kids love this. They threw some crackers in and caught bunches of fish. The spines on the fish plus catching snapping turtles tore it up but it was worth it while it lasted. They got about 30 hours of use out it and some fantastic stories.

Dion : Good to go!

Works really well, we use them for crawdadding and even had a nice trout go into it
, need to add some type of weight to the bottom of it so it sinks faster.

ngoc a. : Not worth the money

Product keeps flipping. Not great at all.

Amazon Customer : Junk

Used it once the net tore the first night we used it, very flimsy net.

Adam Leveque : Great, just wish was more sturdy.

Works great for lakes. Started to bend off a Pier in the ocean, but still caught fish & crabs in it though.

Jonathan niblett : Poorly made product but expected for how cheep it is.

I kinda figured this wasn't going to last long. Very poorly made. It broke before I even used it.... Very cheep. If you do buy this be very very gentle when opening the net because it will break very easily.

Crystal H. : This works! First try caught about 50 minnows in ...

This works! First try caught about 50 minnows in about 5 minutes! Tied an empty water bottle to the rope so we could see where the trap was, didn't need weights. We used all natural cheeto puffs for bait (shhh, don't tell anyone).Going to buy a couple more to try at the coast.

Debbykp : Cheap built

Collapsed first time used

Amazon Customer : Came with holes, had to sew, would have ...

Came with holes, had to sew, would have returned but didn't have time to replace before needed, so I repaired it.

Mengjialin : Great idea but poor quality.

Very easy to set up and use，Great idea but poor quality.I used it twice and it started to appear damaged

tcope : Didn’t work well for us

Bought this to use as a perch trap but the openings are too large for that.

FarmerKris : 2 stars for the design as it may work better for others

I didn't find that it worked. 2 stars for the design as it may work better for others.

I was using it as a minnow catcher with little success regardless of what bait I put in it. The biggest concern is that the holes are big enough for fish to find their way out. Several times I would check on it in the evening and find some fry in it and by morning it would be empty. It may with better for catching crayfish.

Amazon Customer : Great features, poor choice of metal frame

This is a well designed product that caught us lots of shrimp over the course of 4 days of use, if you use the right bait.
I was however extremely disappointed by the durability. After 4 days use in saltwater the metal structure is completely rusted and even with fresh water washing and use of lubricants didn’t stop fast corrosion. The metal will not even last weeks. Since the umbrella arms need to close and open for this trap to work and they don’t because it is all rusted, now it is useless after 4 days of use. Find other more durable solutions until they replace the metal with stainless steel.

Tami Bassett : Legit minnow trap.

This will be year 3 with this trap. I see a lot of bad reviews, just assume they are idiots who do not know how to take care of their stuff. I use this net all summer long in Northern Michigan beaver dams for minnows. It sits on the back of my Big Red and is hauled through brush constantly. Not a single problem yet, actually here buying my second one just to have 2 out at the same time, saw the unwarrented 3 stars, and had to tell my experience.

Thomas S. : One Star

broke in 1h a crab get inside and destroy it

ckhayes1 : My time is valuable and I feel that it was wasted on this product.

This product did not perform as advertised. It was too difficult to add and remove bait. The product was too lightweight and adding weight caused imbalance. Quite often, it folded too easily during handling. The only thing collected in the basket was jelly from bottom; no crabs, no fish, nada.

Kelly : Not Durable

Zack : Broke on first use

Used once- as I lifted it out of the water (empty too) the cheap metal bars folded in on each other like a flimsy umbrella in a hurricane. Won’t ever buy again.

Jim Billberry : What a rip

The fish destroyed it the first time I used it.

Andrew Lindgren : There is no zipper!

How am I supposed to get my catch out?

Qwackinandsmakin : Very cheaply made

This thing is so flimsy and weak you can’t even hardly throw it out without all the wires bending.
I put a pancake in mine and tried throwing it away from the bank a little and it just bent all up... JUNK

Greg Flake : Weak netting, poor design.

We caught some minnows, but the net developed holes after only a couple of days of use. Also the retainer doesn’t hold well and if you don’t have help the net will spring closed.

Rondell : Cheaply constructed. It Will Break After 1st Use!

Very flimsy. Better used at ponds, lakes or any still bodies of water. Had to retro fit add weight otherwise trap will drift away. Great concept tho! Poor construction! Be ready to buy another or just go back to traditional traps that are way more sturdy.

Andrew Lindgren : There is no zipper!

How am I supposed to get my catch out?

Timothy M Nowaskie : Shocked we’re bringing home!

We are shocked that this trap made it back with us from Florida and it’s being stored for next year’s trip! Good quality and functioned as advertised. We took this net to Florida to catch bate fish for fishing in the gulf. Funny enough not much bate was caught BUT we caught 6 crab with this trap! We used the traditional trap (shown) for a holding tank. Nice addition to the necessary tools that pack well for vacation!

Rae : Great quality

Great quality great price! I definitely recommend these. They make my preppers must have list! Perfect for ANY time. Easy to use and actually work!

Chae : Good on Amazon

I received it a day earlier than expected. Good on Amazon.

As for the product... Yes, it is a bit flimsy but that's to be expected. It's a bait trap. It's design to catch and hold fingerling size fish for the most part. Anything tougher or bigger than that can eventually work itself out of the trap. I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. As is, it's a great combination of size, weight, and toughness.

Mine sank well without any additional weight. It didn't sink evenly, and that's to be expected given the shape. The flat bottom going down it's going to want to tilt over way or another. Just hold on to the string (which you have to add) and ease it down.

Mine didn't come with a zipper on the bottom. But the fish were easy to extract by going through the holes. The bait pouch didn't have any sort of fastening but I just folded over side and secured it with a wooden clothespin. I have had no issues with it coming loose.

As for catching, it's not going to catch anything if there's no fish there so move it around. For bait fish, under the dock is almost always a sure thing and that's where mine is soaking right now. The first time, after about a 10 minute soak, we had 5 little fish. I used Cheetos as we have 2 kids and be apparently have an unlimited supply of it.

Jose : One Star

This thing is crap it ripe apart the first use it looks rely good but it is crap

Amazon Customer : Great features, poor choice of metal frame

Ariel K. : Broken in 10 minutes.

Broke in the first use. The wires bent weirdly as it sunk to the bottom a few feet and when I pulled it back up the was bent, damaged, and difficult for crabs to enter due to the bending in the wire. Garbage. Don’t buy.

nk3012 : Too flimsy.

Item is too flimsy to stay on the bottom..very disappointed and would not recommend.. Will look for a much sturdier item for my fishing outings

Kelly : Not Durable

alan rainwater : Great trap

Perch, bass, crawfish, catfish, minnows, turtles, snakes and shrimp. Some of everything. Always a new surprise.

heffer,Dave : Good fishing net!!

The portable fishing net comes pre-assebled. easy to assemble and use, quality material.Take it out of the bag and simply open it it up. It closes just as easy. You need some rope and a long pole such as an old shovel handle. Tie the net to the rope and the rope to your pole. Now you can get fish right away

Amazon Customer : Flimsy

These might be better used in a lake where the water has no tide or movement. We tried them for crab and we knew they would be light weight, so we attached a heavy weight on the bottom so it would sink faster and stay on the bottom. It did sink, however it did not stay in place. It came back towards the rocky shore very quickly and it would collapse on itself like a flimsy umbrella in a wind storm. We did not catch any crab that day, although people just down from us did

JB : Does not hold up to even one use

Absolute garbage. I used it one time and a crab got in. Before I could get it out it tore up the bottom which has now rendered this unusable. Waste of my money.

JB : Does not hold up to even one use
