Introducing the Ultimate Bullhead Catfish Trap – Built to Last, Designed for Success!
Are you trying to control a population overgrowth of bullhead catfish in your pond? There are lots of different methods for population control, which we recently wrote about in our blog titled Effective Strategies for Removing Bullhead Catfish from an Overpopulated Pond <linked>, but trapping them is by far one of the most cost-effective and safest methods to thin the population.
Our handmade Bullhead Catfish Trap is your go-to solution for catching an incredible amount of fish with ease. Backed by 16+ years of trap-building experience, this trap is a true game-changer for pond and lake owners who want reliability, durability, and performance.
Built for Strength and Longevity
-
Dimensions: 23" x 23" x 11" (inches)
- Larger (custom) traps available upon request
Our goal is simple... to produce the best catching and highest quality trap on the market, and we feel like we've accomplished these goals with this trap. Crafted with 1/2 x 1/2 inch, 16 gauge welded wire, our bullhead trap is the definition of tough. This is the same animal cage-quality wire that’s galvanized after welding to guarantee maximum longevity, ensuring your trap will withstand the harshest conditions in the water. It's fastened together with stainless steel hog rings, making it one of the most durable and rugged traps on the market today.
Our trap is so durable it can support up to 240 pounds (check out the image below... that's me standing on it!) – that’s more than enough strength to handle whatever you throw at it (and whatever it catches). Whether you’re a casual fisherman or a pro, this trap will perform every time.

Catches the Bullheads Like Fire!!!
What sets this trap apart? It catches bullhead catfish like no other trap on the market. We simply modified the world-famous Z-Trap in order to optimize it specifically for catching larger bullhead catfish.
By simply making a "bait tube" with some old dog food and pantyhose (yep... pantyhose, but I suppose you could use a sock instead) and tossing that bait tube inside the trap, you will attract and catch dozens and dozens of bullhead catfish in no time.
Check out the feedback below from a recent customer who purchased a bullhead trap from us a while back. He sent this image and text to us ecstatic about his trap and purchase.

Easy to Use and Catch Bullhead Catfish
Our trap is designed for convenience, so you're not going to waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to use the trap. It's a SIMPLE DESIGN that WORKS. It’s easy to bait and set up, allowing you to get it in the water quickly, and even more importantly, it begins to attach and catch the fish effectively. Once it’s in place, you can relax knowing that you’ve got one of the best traps in the game doing all the work for you. You are guaranteed to start thinning your bullhead population on the very first use. If they're there and you use it accordingly, you will begin to catch them.

These traps are good quality. I know they catch fish empty, but so far I've had more success with throwing bread in them. They are priceless when it comes to saving time catching bait! Would recommend. Fast manufacturer and delivery times also.
Thanks Matthew! I appreciate you taking the time to leave the review, and I'm sincerely glad you're enjoying your traps. Keep on catching 'em man!

Man I put the trap in a pond first night I had 46 bullhead and a dozen sunfish. I used a 1/4 block of catfish cheese for bait. Had plenty of bullhead for flathead Bait and put rest in my bait tank.
