Outer Casing

- Either a PVC pipe, A 3D Printed plastic piece, or a CNC Milled/Torched and welded metal piece


Throat

- Most likely 3D Printed

- Consists of a small ring that fits inside of the outer casing, with semi-rigid triangles forming a cone like shape going into the trap

- This prevents fish from escaping the trap

- Size of the inner hole determines the fish size (ie the fish caught will be small enough to fit in, but not small enough they can escape)
