Nope. Best method. Just try to catch Anything else on a rod :lol: always works for me! Good luck is this a round trap by chance? My. Grandpa Used barrels with mesh and road kill I don't remember the specifics except he had to cook them in the bunkhouse cause mom wouldn't let them in her kitchen.

Yeah, its a mesh trap thats the size of a 55gal drum when opened. I believe it is just staked tight on both ends keeping the hoop out of the water high enough for a turtle to breath, with bait inside. Supposed to work great for catching snappers, but what do i know :lol:
