You could probably secure the bait in a perforated cup like they do in the
Alaska king crab fishery. A clip could be used to attach the bait cup inside
the fyke near the tailbag, after all the funnels.

No.. no bait.. how would you bait a fyke net? This is something I have not
run across. Would appreciate more info.
