Trap Mods

[Jim Kusuda]

I set up my Legend XL Thermal Fish Trap and did a couple of simple mods.

I drill a couple 1/4" holes on the edge of the sled base and run a rope that can be knotted and pulled in. This is used to anchor it with my back to the wind with ice anchors or looping it over the trailer hitch.

I put a small cargo net and the new corner console on. What else have others done?

Nice start. I have an X1. I put a piece of plywood on hinges on mine. It wood be in the area next to your seat. My heater will sit on that while fishing plus gives me room to set other stuff. When packed up my seat slides under it so during wet sloppy conditions it doesn't get all wet.

I also installed a sticker tape to the wood to easily measure fish up to 23 inches.

Where did you get the cargo net? I am looking for one to store my house poles so they are not all over in the bottom of the sled.

It's a Clam small. They also make a large one.

Thanks!

I have an older Trap Pro that was uninsulated, I put in a Clam insulated top 2 years ago and this year I lined the back with an old blanket held in with Velcro. Since I put the back into the wind I hope this will help. If its really windy I usually just put some anchors right next to the tub on the down wind side.

I just put this rod holder in to hold rods between short moves and when I'm switching rods trying to figure out what the fish want.

This just shows how my back pole is held in with broom clips and how I store my rods when I'm in transport mode.
