Work intrudes on my fishing

Recently, I have been supplementing my income. The pay is enough to buy a new trap and cage, so I'll be able to start replacing the rigs that the sealions have been munching. For some reason, the small traps used with rods dont seem to get attacked - maybe they're just harder to see. One experiment which might work, is to put some of the rod traps in the ring traps. But I suppose the ideal answer is to go to home depot and rig something up myself with chicken wire.
