Our Bait Saviour Bait Container is a timed bait release container and bait saver container designed to protect lobster and crab bait from non-target species and harsh marine conditions during the early part of the soak. Because lobsters are typically most active at night, you can programme a precise release time using the online portal, putting control of bait availability directly in your hands. By timing bait release properly, you attract lobsters and crabs when they’re most likely to feed, improving catch consistency and reducing bait loss. This efficiency means many crews can use just 25% to 50% of their usual bait quantity, cutting bait waste and cost while supporting a more sustainable approach to commercial shellfish fishing. The container’s robust, sealed design keeps bait secure and effective in challenging underwater conditions, so you spend less time dealing with bait problems and more time focused on fishing. Using less bait also reduces waste on the seabed and limits the scavenger build-up that can interfere with gear. Once you’ve set the release time for your bait container in the portal, follow these simple steps: 1 - Load the bait: Use around 25% to 50% of your usual bait portion. Carefully peel back the bait net and load the measured bait inside the bait saver container. 2 - Secure the latch: Close the container fully and check the latch is firmly locked to prevent accidental opening before the scheduled release. 3 - Place back in the basket: Return the container to the bait container basket mounted in your lobster pot, crab pot, creel, or other shellfish trap. Make sure it’s positioned securely and stable so it operates correctly when the timer activates. Our Bait Container is engineered by Q-leap Technology and pressure tested at the Southampton Oceanography Centre, designed to operate at depths of up to 183 metres (100 fathoms). It’s built for commercial fishing vessels and real-world pot fishing conditions, keeping bait protected and intact at depth so it performs when it matters. The Bait Saviour system is designed to reduce bait consumption by up to 75%. By improving bait efficiency during the soak, crews can often reduce unnecessary trips and handling, which can lower fuel use by up to 50% depending on operation and strategy. That means less time spent rebaiting and re-running gear, and more time focused on productive fishing. To run the full smart bait control system, the process is straightforward: One - Plug in your Hub: The Bait Saviour Hub is the bait monitoring hub for fishing. It manages release credits, supports pot location tracking where enabled, and shows real-time bait container countdowns so you can manage your gear efficiently. Two - Set your time: Use the Bait Saviour online portal to set bait release schedules and manage your system. It’s built to be simple to use, with remote setup support available if needed. Three - Select your bait container: Use the Remote to switch your bait container between preset time modes that you’ve already set in the portal. This lets you adjust bait release scheduling quickly to suit short soaks, long soaks, tides, weather windows, and target species behaviour. This is a bait protection system and bait loss prevention system for lobster pots, crab pots, creels and other shellfish traps. It combines a smart bait container with practical scheduling to reduce bait waste, reduce operating costs, and keep your gear fishing effectively with less effort.
