I usually bring my Bait tank out most of the time especially while fishing for halibut ....It's nice to have . When not in use , It serves well as rod holders and it works as a ice chest for my cold drinks
I use them all depending on where , and what I'm fishing for .... I prefer the bait tube over the bucket because it' doesn't slow you down while paddling , The bait bucket will work, But I find it more of a hassle to deal with.

But the bucket obviously doubles as an awesome pillow!
