I agree (I'm a tournament bass angler so live/cut bait is a new deal to me anyway) but when you need it, it would be nice to have the option. Especially since this thing is so lightweight and easy to stow away until needed.

For $40, it's a no brainer.
I'll be kayaking SD bay on Sat AM, you're welcome to stop by and check it out. |
Good to hear. If I go this route, your review gives me some confidence in the product. What I've read so far is definitely negative heavy.
Thanks again everyone...
