$2 gutter guard and some zip ties will make heaps for you.

Yep, the gutter guard and zip ties, make up bags to your preferred size. I use some elect wire to tie them closed.

i bought a bit of the heavy duty gutter guard stuff from crab n gear. cost me about 10 bucks for a 1 metre off the roll and he threw in a handle of clips.
Made about 16 bags from memory, will last forever

I run PVC pipe in my crab gear. 90mm wide by 250mm in length, one end has got a end cap the other a screw top, . Holes are drilled around the body and end caps, to let the scent disperse. The pipe is held in place by a bait keeper through the holes in the pipe and the mesh of the pot.

Never have to replace through damage, only if someone steels or runs over the pot.

yeah a mate in Ayr does the same and swears by it, protects the bait so the crabs keep staying at it. i've been planning on making a few up.

Similar to Agvar8 but I use 1 kg Golden Circle sliced fruit or other large plastic bottles with screw on lids. They do get chewed a bit if the holes are to big but are cheap. They are easy to change the bait.

A Guy I work with work with a pro over christmas and he said that the pro uses the same set up

I use old trawl net (get it off any pro fisher) and make it into pockets of various sizes. Bit of nylon twine through the top to close it and a small
piece of roofing lead pressed around the twine to make a draw string.
Lasts for ever, well I haven't had one mangled yet, and cheap as.
All the neighbours, Relies, Mates etc love em. Keeps me busy making em too
Cheers
