I just wanted to report back that the Frabill net is not a bad piece for the money. The handle is a bit short, but the frame is a clever design that has the netting inside a slotted tube so that it does not abrade on the edges. Much different from the picture.

I also got one of the $6 cheap Frabill minnow traps. In a matter of days it rusted. Cheap piece of china crap. I guess it's just cosmetic.
