Chicken Necks is real inexpensive and very effective and can endure many nippings from the crab(s).
If you can't get a hold of chicken necks, try fish-heads secured firmly to the net, cage, or rope.
You're making me hungry.

Anything smelly, such as Mussels, squid, bits of dead fish, etc........ though I've found it's just as important to put that bait in the right place (e.g. against a structure where the tide washes food towards for them to scavenge on).

Yeah I'm with the chicken necks. They are tuff enuff to last and cheap. when I blue crab I just tie one to a string and wait for the pull.

My kids love crabbing and they have found that the best and cheapest bait for them is raw bacon rind!

+1 on the chicken necks or legs,
I've used them in FL. on a string, they tend to hang on the skin better when you drag em up and somebody can net them. should work good in traps too.
