K-Traps

K-Traps is a Minnesota based company that manufactures minnow, fish and turtle traps. K-Traps LLC is owned by Shawn and Joy Henkel.

The business was purchased in July 2019 from the Kveene families. The business is still located on the Kveene’s property. History of K-Traps
The Kveene’s orginally purchased the business in January 2008 from a local individual that designed and produced these traps for approximately 20 years. During the first 6 years of production, the original traps were built as a project for a local community based mental health facility. In 1995, the previous owner went into production working out of his house and garage. All of the traps were built by himself and very limited part time labor. K-Traps will continue this tradition by building all of the traps personally and utilizing the help of some part time employees. All of the parts and traps are built by hand. When you order products from K-Traps, you are purchasing directly from the manufacturer.

Wondering where to put your bait?

Use our bait basket to keep your bait from floating to the edges of the minnow trap.

- Prevents minnows from eating bait outside the trap.
- Bait attracts minnows
- Minnows find the trap entrance and then find the bait.

Our Story

K-Traps LLC is owned by Shawn and Joy Henkel. The business was purchased in July 2019 from the Kveene families. The business is still located on the Kveene’s property. Shawn and Joy have been working at K-Traps with the Kveene’s during the last year. If you’ve purchased traps in the last year they have already been built by us, so the quality will not change.

We look forward to hearing from you. We can’t improve without your input and if you like what we have let us know that too, so we continue those things. Thank you for your continued support.
