Are you able to cut the center hole a to 3-4 inches for bigger bait fish?

Yes, but trap is small and larger fish could probably escape. I had to make hole smaller to stop crawfish from escaping.

How big is the opening?

Minnow entry point is 1 inch in diameter.

too small for a turtle beak. when i pull em out tomorrow i'll measure it with a tape & let you know. i recommend em for just about anything

Has the rusting issue been fixed? If not could i spraypaint it before i use it to protect it?

I have had this one for a few years and it has rust but still useable ! Hope this helps Darrell

Well made

If the kids would use a hot dog or old bagel as bait instead of sliced bread would work better. Crab traps last 3-4 years here in northwest fl on the bayou, expect this will too if I rinse and dry well after each use.

Great bait trap.

Worked well for saltwater bait. Used chicken leg and caught a bunch. Used a float to keep it off the bottom.
