Maximize your crabbing success with the AirFly Bait Cage – a compact, durable bait holder designed for versatility and rugged marine use. Built from corrosion-resistant vinyl-coated steel, this 4” x 2” x 1” bait cage fits securely inside crab traps, pots, rings, loop snares, and hoop nets, making it an ideal upgrade for both beginners and seasoned crabbers. Whether you’re targeting Dungeness, Blue Crab, Rock Crab, or even crawfish, this bait cage keeps your bait protected from quick pickers and strong currents, extending its effectiveness. Great for use off piers, docks, boats, or shorelines, it can hold squid, fish heads, chicken, or other popular baits without leaking or falling apart mid-soak. Compact in size but big on reliability, this cage is especially handy for multi-trap setups and rough water conditions where bait security is critical. Designed in the USA with field-tested performance in mind, the AirFly Bait Cage is a must-have accessory for recreational crabbers, commercial fishers, or marine researchers.

• Build Your Own Crab Trap or Upgrade Any Rig - Loop Trap, Snare, Throw Line, Crab Pot and Hoop Net Compatible: Drop it solo with bait and a rope for a standalone crab snare, clip 6 loops around it to build a castable loop trap, or attach inside any crab pot, hoop net, or ring net as a secured bait cage. Works from pier, dock, or boat for Dungeness on the West Coast, Blue crab on the East Coast and Gulf, and Rock crab from California to Oregon.
• 0.5-Inch Mesh Locks Bait In - Scent Flows Out: Small 0.5-inch mesh openings let scent and juices disperse into the water column while keeping cut squid, chicken necks, fish heads, and menhaden physically secured. Fish, perch, and small nuisance species cannot steal bait through the cage walls.
• Lead-Free 2oz Built-In Weight - No Sinker Needed: The 2oz lead-free weight is cast into the base so the cage sits flat on the seafloor without a separate sinker. 5oz total weight. One-hand rubber band latch for fast bait changes on the dock.
• Fishing Pole Ready - Cast It Like a Crab Snare With 6 Loops: Attach to a fishing pole, add bait and 6 loops around the cage, and cast it like a crab snare or loop trap. A simple, portable rig for blue crab from shore, pier, or boat with no heavy gear required.
• Vinyl-Coated Wire - Rust Resistant for Salt and Freshwater - 3 Pack: Black vinyl-coated steel wire resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater. Folds flat for easy storage and transport. Stainless steel top hook clips to standard trap hardware. Designed in San Francisco as part of the Airfly crab fishing system.
