Minnow Cage Clasp

Category: Fishing

Product Modification

Problem: There were a few problems. First, the halves were not connected so they could nest together for storage, therefore they could get easily separated. Second, when you put them together, they didn’t hold together securely. Third, you need to have some kind of a line to raise and lower the cage into the water. 

Action: I tied the line between the two halves that was long enough so it could still be nested together. I then got a clasp that would hold the two halves together in place and attached a long line to it for lowering into the water. 

Result: It works great!
