Bill, it looks like it was dipped in some sort of vinyl. I don't see a difference but I've never really tried to test them. I put some feed in a piece of panty hose. Then put a little bit in the trap. Then I toss a small amount into the trap area.

There may be times when one works better than another but I've never worried about it. Heck, they work. The biggest deal is to be there about 20 minutes after putting the trap in the water. Much longer and they get away in the small traps. In the 30 gallon one, I can generally wait an hour but I have no idea what happens during that time.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
