Abstract: A bait container is made from acryloitrile butadiene styrene, known as ABS, plastic tubing and ABS plastic sheets, the latter preferably being white. Cut circular white ends are adhesively secured in place at the ends of the cut tubing, during the assembly of this bait container. A panel of the cut tubing is cut away to create an entry for the bait. The panel is pivoted back into place to contain the bait. A latching of a handle, secured to the panel, keeps the panel in place. In other portions of the hollow cylindrical body, formed by the closed end cut tube, closely spaced radial slots are formed to controllably release the bait, while keeping many forms of marine life from entering into the interior of this bait container. A stainless steel rod or wire extends throughout the bait container and beyond, terminating in hooks, which are adapted to receive holders positioning this bait container within a crustacean trap.
