The real lobster pros use black plastic/rubber coated heavy gauge wire.

I remember one guy who used yellow poly rope and couldn't figure out why his traps never had any lobster.

Many moons ago, I had 8 or 9 pots in there and used an odd-color set of zip-ties along with strapping them closed, easiest way to tell if they'd been tampered with, which happens, but it was a good indicator that I need to
Had some decent catches in there too, had 2 doormat sized fluke in 1 trap once??? ... delishhh

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
