looking forward to trying the Hookup Baits I got at FH..........I had this idea to discourage sea lions. What if you put a small treble just like you would with a trap rig, but do not have it tied, they sometimes ignore the trap rigged bait but sometimes grab the tail and let you pull the hooks out. they definitely eyeball the bait good before taking it.

I know one of the OG used to swear by wrapping some wire or a bread tie around the base of the tail.
