Fish Trap Pro or?

[Fullmoon]

The old Trap Pro is going to need a new canvas and cover next year(it's the old hig side tub). Can't decide if I want to replace the parts and customize her or go with a new shack. Who'd got an opinion on the new options? Give me pros and cons if you would. Thanks in advance. Can you tell I'm bored? I'm thinking next year!

Those old ones are good for easy walking on no snow lakes but a bear when there is snow because they plow so much right Big Johnny..

Fullmoon - If its the old high style tub that opens front to back instead of side to side, the new covers wont fit. We had new covers made around 5 years ago, they are bullet proof but pricy. Timmy knows who made ours, not sure if he's still willing to do em. If your tub is really beat, my opinion is to buy a whole new trap...

Ray - if it's the old high side tubs I doubt you can get a replacement tent for that. I think I would call customer service first...

5 years ago you couldnt get replacements for them... See above post..

Thanks guys. I ordered but will call them now to make sure or cancel. My friend co-owns DiSano canvas in Frankfort, I could always ask them to make me one if it's affordable. Planned expediency, make them buy the new product!! An all American concept.

Just got off the phone with CS and they said No. Nuts. Got a good idea from the guy though. Instead of skis, he said a few guys at a tourny in MN were using electrical conduit bent to form a frame around the tub and act as runners as well. Said it worked and look great. It's been some time since I bent pipe (electrician in my younger days) but I think I can still pull it off. Looks like I'll be in touch with Clam before next season to get a "dealer price list" Shipping could hurt so I may have ot order a few to make it worth it. Sold in the past on wantaddigest.com. We'll see when the time gets here.

The Shipping on a replacement cover for a guide is like $9.60. Hope this helps.
