Perch Trap - Four Leaf Clover Style

This Four Leaf Clover perch trap is a tested tried and true design, and it's been a staple bait trap that fishermen have trusted for decades. Our rendition of this trap was designed with three major goals in mind. We wanted to produce a high-quality trap that 1) catches the perch FAST, 2) will last for years when cared for properly, and 3) won't break the bank.

PLEASE NOTE: Our goal at Reel Texas Outdoors has always been to produce the best catching and highest quality bait fish traps on the market. For this reason, starting in 2025 we will be phasing out our traps built from regular hardware cloth (19 gauge, 1/2 x 1/2 inch) and only offering the traps built from premium wires. We believe that our traps made from the higher-end wire are simply superior in every way to the cheaper hardware cloth traps. We simply want to make a great catching fish trap that lasts for years, and worth someone spending their hard-earned money on.

If you're looking for the absolute best Cloverleaf Trap on the market today, you can find more info at this link right here: Premium Cloverleaf Bait Fish / Perch Trap.

We have built and sold thousands of these traps over the years, and we confidently believe that we have accomplished our goals. This is truly a great trap that will catch the bait quickly.

What is Included with this Perch Trap?

This trap comes ready to catch live bait! There are two doors on the trap: One for adding your bait into the bait holding tube (center of trap); and the other is at the bottom of the trap where you can easily empty the trap of your catch.

All you have to do is: (1) put your bait in the trap (bread, dog food, etc) (2) throw the trap and shallow water (3) tie the trap off and THAT’S IT!!! Very easy to use and you will be catching your own perch like a pro in no time at all.
