What does ya'lls traps look like? My daughter bought me one for Christmas this year. Made out of blue plastic, about 2 foot long and 14 inches wide, with a tray. Don't look like something a pin fish would want to go near, so I've never used it. 
It's cute though, looks good sitting in my utility shed. 
Great conversation piece.

Mine are made out of black plastic coated wire. They are about 3 ft. square with a bait chamber in the middle. I bought them at Survivers bait store on ST. George Island for $20.

I have two websites that have fish pictures.

(Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) calls them "Pinfish"
http://www.acfishing.com/fishid/list.html
(ACFishing.com) Calls the "Pin Fish".
Basically, I don't think it matters, everybody knows what you are talking about.
