I was at Bauer traps this morning, He asked me to post this. Here is a fix that is being supplied to Bauer trap suppliers. It will be supplied with new traps. Or available for purchase.

If you look at your traps closely there are clipped ends in numerous place. I’ve had 4 of my traps since 2012, fished the regularly, rinsed with freshwater before storage and have no signs of rust of corrosion on any raw ends. I don’t think it will be an issue, Bauer uses very high quality mesh in their traps

Yes, the Bauer trap uses a high quality mesh. Some don't.
