I have a bunch of different style prawn traps in my yard from various used purchases. I am trying to figure out what features and design make a good prawn trap. I have some Ladner 30" commercial tapered, Jolly roger rectangle folding, knock off bauer, and round coated steel cylinder.
Is heavier better?
Diameter of opening?
Number of openings? 2? 3? 4?
Angle of ramp? Is a mellow slope better than a steep slope?
Round, square, rectangle?
Size of mesh?
Material preference....coated wire? nylon mesh?
Height of ramp? I heard it's better for the ramp to start right at bottom edge of trap. Anyone agree with this?
I may be analyzing this a little too much, but I want to figure out which styles I am going to take out this year.
Much thanks.
