I've made my own killie cars from wood and galvanized mesh. I've made them out of all wood. They work very well but are visible.....not as much as a yellow bait bucket, however. Try sealing the ends of a killie trap with bottle corks to keep the bait from escaping. The cork or rubber stoppers can be taken out so the trap can be reset. Or, you can take an old trap and pinch the wire funnels closed. Attach a line to the clip as usual, add the killies, place a small piece of bunker in with them and lower the trap into the water. Tie a small stick or twig to the end of the line to mark it. High tide is best. The trap and its contents remain hidden; the bait stays alive; and you can retrieve it by snagging the line with a weighted treble or long pole. You can do the same at your boat dock if there are incidents with empty or missing bait containers.
