Gold Prospecting Nugget Trap Mat

The Nugget Trap Mat is a deep-pocket riffle mat engineered for high-flow river sluicing, where most mats lose ground and fine gold slips through.

Aggressive pocket geometry creates vortex action across multiple capture zones, locking down everything from coarse nuggets to flour gold — even when the current is working against you.

• Deep aggressive riffles — trap gold other mats miss in high-flow conditions
• Multiple capture zones — prevent fine gold from washing downstream
• Rigid PETG construction — durable and built to handle hard river seasons
• Compatible with removable mat systems — easy install and removal
• Pulls clean fast — less time on cleanup, more time running material
• Available in Red, Blue, and Green
• USA made — hand-inspected before it ships

Made to Fit — Any Rig

Our mats are manufactured to fit HMO sluices and highbankers right out of the box. But we don’t stop there — if you’re running a different brand, we’ll manufacture a mat to fit your gear too. Just contact us before ordering with your dimensions and we’ll take care of the rest. Custom sizing is a premium service and priced accordingly.

Why USA Made?

We don’t source these mats — we manufacture them. Every mat in our lineup is designed in-house, printed to spec, and hand-inspected before it ships. No middlemen, no compromises, no catalog parts. When you order from us, you’re getting gear built by the same people who designed it — to the same standard you hold yourself to in the field.

Built Different. By Design.

Most gear in this industry is sourced from a catalog, rebranded, and shipped. Not ours. We design it, manufacture it, inspect it, and ship it directly to you — no middlemen, no third-party parts, no compromises. When you find something in the field that needs fixing, it feeds straight back into the next build. That’s why we ask for your feedback — you’re not just a customer, you’re part of our design team. That’s what maker-direct means. That’s what you’re buying.
