Eel Trap Cage

– Vinyl-Coated Galvanized Wire, 12″ × 12″ × 36″ with Tapered Tunnel Entrance

Our vinyl-coated galvanized wire eel trap cage is engineered for efficient, durable, and reliable eel capture in both scientific and commercial applications. Built from 1/2″ × 1/2″ mesh, gauge #16 wire, this trap offers excellent rigidity, long-lasting corrosion resistance, and optimal performance in freshwater or saltwater environments.

With its 12″ × 12″ × 36″ rectangular body, the cage provides ample internal space while remaining easy to handle, deploy, and transport. The tapered tunnel entrance narrowing down to 4 inches allows eels to enter easily while minimizing escape, making this trap highly effective for biological studies, inventory work, live capture, and species monitoring.

The vinyl coating enhances durability, protects the wire from rust, and provides a smoother surface that reduces abrasion on the animals. This construction ensures an extended lifespan, even under repeated or long-term aquatic use.
