Bait tube question... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use 2 different bait tubes....a larger diameter tube for my macks and a 1 1/2 inch tube for sardines. With the smaller diameter tube it keeps them from being able to turn around and I have had sardines last 3 or 4 hours in my bait tube. I wouldnt waste your monet at the bait barge though....Just get a sabiki and jig up your own.....they are healthier and hardier than the stuff you would get from the bait barge anyway.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I will just use my sabiki's and catch my own. I guess I will use the 4" tube for macs and make a smaller tube for the dines and chovies.

I am going to look like a floating circus with all these tubes trailing behind me...
