so you purchasers understand ,, almost all used commercial traps have larger mesh that has been stretched out, not only do you catch larger prawns hopefully ( which can be a good thing) but.. if you are in an area with current, any movement of the mesh or tie offs strongly discourage any prawns from going near the trap. i buy used commie traps and re-string with sport sized mesh kits from pnt.. a few i have done with commie sized mesh, they do work better for keeping the smallies from staying in..

 

[Tips Up]

How much do the mesh kits cost and how hard are they to restring?
I have about 8 traps that mice decided to eat through.
I figured they would not be worth repairing.

Thanks
