Troll bait bucket...does it work ok? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Agree with Aguachico about making a cheapo bait tank. Bait tubes work fine for macks, but I find dines and chovies don't hold up as well.

Too often my sardines end up like this

With the bait tubes, i have found that the bait in front seems to get their tails chewed on by the guy's in the back of the bus. Not sure how much this effects their swimming. Otherwise they seem to stay lively, if you don't overcrowd. Also you will never have electrical failure, or experience a battery that has run out of juice.

A quick note ,if you are going to use the trolling bucket, try to find a Flambeu(?) brand, they have a stronger handle to tie onto...just my$0.02.....
