My friend David shared his hoop net improvement by permanently attaching a bait bag.
This will keep the bait at the center of the hoop and improve the chance of catching crabs and lobsters.

Looks good. I agree that Promar should ship them this way instead of with the built-in bait bag that nobody uses.

I emailed this suggestion to Promar.

I know many lobster guys are worried about seals going through the bait bag.  I would recommend using a seal-proof container on top of the bait bag.
