Yes, I make them myself in my garage. I designed them to be used in addition to the larger soak traps. If you have kids with you or even just with friends you can easily double your entire catch by using these traps while waiting for your bigger traps to soak for several hours. The Crawfish Hotel is especially fun for kids, because they can use a fishing pole and they can actually watch the crawfish enter the traps. The soak time on these traps is somewhere between 5 - 10 minutes before the trap is full of crawfish and ready to be pulled in. The big benefit of these traps over a chicken leg tied to a string is that the crawfish don't get off when you are pulling them in. I have done in-field studies that show about 50 percent of the crawfish caught using a chicken leg fall off before you get them to shore. With the Crawfish Hotel, you catch nearly 96 percent of all the crawfish that enter the trap. I have attach a photo of the two models. Both models can be used with a fishing pole or rope and measure 6" x 6" x 6" and weigh about 16 ounces.
