If you wanna make your nets seal proof there is one way good way to do it. Add a piece of wire mesh to the top and bottom of the mesh pouch at the bottom of the net, then feed your bait from the bottom of it. There is no possible way for the seals to get into it. I usually just cut the old one off, but you do not have to.

First yr my nets got destroyed by seals and eels. So I went to a bait cage, they still got beat up. Not only that by adding a bait tube and/ or cage it elevates your bait from the bottom of the cage. By simply adding the metal mesh to the bottom your bait now lays flat on the bottom. Not elevated and no way for a seal to get a hold of it.

I've been using this technique for 4yrs now. Never lost a bait or had my mesh damaged.
