Matt,
IMO I would go with the cut bait. It should work fine. The nylon rope is also ok if it is really 80lb test. I use paracord on mine. It only needs to be able to pull in the weight of the trap and withstand any current.
If you really want some used panty hose, PM Bob O. I'm sure he has several used pairs lying around.
lolz XD
just hope the cut bait has some sent left i have 2 bass heads in it i got 3 traps coming my way now not sure if you have to use a lot of bait t get them coming or if like 1 fishhead would be enough dif vids had guys using just 1 handfun of dog food and another had a whole catfish in it
im dying for these traps to come to start catching crawfish its suppose to rain the next 3 days so hopefully that will make it better for my traps
now ill have a good purpose for when i catch bowfin on my limb lines they shall make good bait for my crawfish
