  • Bait
    Patent number: 4823499
    Abstract: Bait for crustacea or fish is supported in an elastic casing having orifices to expose the bait to the crustacea; and is disposed in a trap, such as a lobster pot, the bait may be in the form of a frozen block and include a portion of finely divided bait which will initially be released slowly from the casing as the frozen block unfreezes in the ocean, and will later be slowly released as the bait is disturbed by the crustacea, whereby the slow release lures the crustacea or fish to the trap.
