I make and use a rat trap contraption to catch a rainbow trout out in open water! Greg Ovens Mouse Trap (Ice Fishing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFam4l_ynxM

The rat trap design was inspired by Greg Ovens mouse trap design, but improved for use in open water fishing rather than through the ice. We found the rat trap to be super effective!

I decided to use a throw arm to get a better hook set rather than rely on just the rat trap arm itself. A longer throw arm will help set the hook over a longer distance producing a much stronger hook set in open water fishing. Unlike in ice fishing, the line is rarely completely taught, so this helps set the hook in open water fishing.
