bread and onion and take little strips of alum. foil and put in there with it. Minnows think some are in there feeding and will go in faster. I catch alot in mine for when I go catfishing by doing this. Works great. Biscuits actually work better than bread because it doesnt fall apart as fast.

Hey spipjack when you use fritos what size chubs do you trap. This would reduce alot of work for me in the spring. Instead of going out with hook and line to get chubs.

I used wire cutters to make the entrance holes wider. The biggest Chubs that I catch are up to 6 or 8 inches. I try to hide the trap with creek rock, or set under a log. I usually catch more in the pools below ripples, and in light current next to deeper water.
