Drake, thank's a bunch for sharing your idea. Today I went to Home Depot and purchased five lids and five of those cups, it cost me $20.

I made a few improvements to the tops and cups.

1st

I took a file to the ridges that are on the lids, filed them down to minimize the amount o pressure it takes to open the lid

Before


After



Next, I took a round file to the cups and filed down a small section to help pop open the top.






I compared the amount of strength it took to open an off the shelf piece to one that I modified. After the modification it took about half the pressure to remove the top, filing down a section to get a grip with a finger really helped.


Again, thanks for sharing

Bait cages are baited and in the freezer ready for the next
