Island Outfitters in Victoria has very heavy duty "chum bags" that are used for holding crab bait. They are approximately the size of the coated wire bait containers. They come with a sliding stopper to close the bag and a plastic snap that you can snap onto the trap where desired. These bags will last for years and are only $3.50 each I believe (may have gone up since I last bought them). They should be available in Van at several locations.

Hey guys, looked on a long extensive search for these crab bait bags and really didnt find anything I like for the price I am looking to pay - do you think making something like this yourself may be a better idea? Get some woven wire cloth maybe like a 8 x 8 size - as seen here http://www.bwire.com - and try to just build one using 2 cut pieces of this material and some wire ties or just stainless steel wire?

If you buy a small sheet, it shouldnt be too expensive I wouldnt think - or you can buy a couple of larger sheets and make a business out of it!
