How to bait the 18" Bauer prawn traps?

Hey there again Prawnstars!
After reading all the notes and comments, seems like the 18" traps are the way to go.
How do you bait them if they don't fit a regular Scotty can?

Pretty sure the 18" Bauer is designed to fit a regular Scotty plastic bait jar. Not sure what your question is - what to use to hold the bait or what to use as bait?

Might need the narrower jars. I have a couple with the smaller bait hatches.

I use the narrower cylindrical bait jars (not tapered) in my 18” square wire traps. I’m not sure what brand mine are but I believe I may have bought them from Trotac and they don’t have the center enclosure. Because of this I just wire the bait jar lid to the bottom of the trap near the center and screw the jar onto it after it’s filled.
I use these jars:

Edit: I also drill a lot of bigger holes in the jar for maximum scent dispersion.

Kufa has a range of sizes. The 6" tall one fits nicely, still leaves room for a 4-5 lb weight.
