Baitstrainer – Bait Sieve

With the Cresta Baitstrainer, you can prepare worms, maggots and pellets quickly and neatly at the waterside. The fine metal mesh allows moisture to drain away easily, while the sturdy plastic rim is comfortable to handle and protects the mesh all around.

Use the bait sieve to drain finely chopped worms, sieve or rinse maggots, and soak pellets. Its compact shape is designed for the Cresta Bait Box: the bait box can be used as a drip tray, and the matching lid also fits the strainer. This keeps your setup clean and compact for transport.
