This Net Factory Bait Clip - 4 Pack keeps your bait locked in the centre of the pot so crabs have to walk right over it in channels over 1 m deep. Each clip runs a simple wire arm that holds whole mullet frames or chicken pieces up to about 80 mm wide so the scent spreads evenly inside a standard pot around 600 mm across. Each clip is made from corrosion resistant metal wire around 2 mm thick so it handles regular drops in salty creeks and muddy bays. The solid loop on one end ties off neatly to the pot base with cable ties or short lengths of 3 mm rope so you can swap or move the setup between pots. Four clips in the kit mean you can rig a couple of pots or carry spares in the crate as backups.

Q: How do I attach the bait clips to my crab pot?

Tie or cable-tie the looped end to the base of the pot. The fixed loop gives you a secure point to lash onto a bar or mesh section. Once fixed, you slide bait under the arm and let the tension hold it. You can leave the clips fitted when you stack the pots for storage.

Q: What type of bait works best with these clips?

Any solid crab bait that the wire arm can pinch is suitable. Common choices include fish frames, mullet heads, or chicken pieces. Softer baits should be packed firmly so they do not slide out of the clip. Whole frames usually sit best as they give the wire something solid to grab.

Q: Can I move the clips between different pots?

Yes, the clips can be removed and refitted to other pots. You just cut the old cable ties or untie the cord and reattach through the loop. This makes it straightforward to shift gear between collapsible and rigid pots. Keeping a few spare ties in the crate helps when you want to swap them on the bank.

Q: How should I look after the clips after a trip?

Hose the clips off with fresh water and let them dry. Removing bait scraps helps reduce smells in the ute or shed. Dry gear also slows corrosion in salty or muddy environments. A quick rinse and visual check after each trip keeps the clips ready for the next run.
