Version 2.0
After seeing how easily the green cap came off with the original design I revamped it a bit

I used the bungie off of a red tow flag from HD. It had a carabiner on one end and a circle on the other. I cut off the circle, fished it through one cap, down the tube, then around the outside and through the original eyelet that the carabiner was connected to then reconnected the circle and used heat shrink to keep it secure.

So I plan to tow from the metal circle which pulls the entire length of bungie. The more you pull the tighter both ends seal. I figure having the shock cord of the bungie will be helpful when towing it through the swells and will hopefully make for a softer and less jerky ride for the bait.
