Quick take
A small-mesh bait cage designed to hold and dispense bait inside a crab trap.
This green bait cage is made for crab traps and holds bait inside the trap, measuring 6 inches on each side. Its fine mesh keeps smaller pieces of bait in place. It is built to nest inside a second cage of the same style, so the set packs down compactly between trips.
