While you call it a bait tube some big sea creatures call it a lunch box.

I use a bait tube in La Jolla. Works great for mac's, they stay alive all day. Use the bait tank for chovies. I found that if you use about a 10 foot line or so to tow it with, it will fall behind your yak and not affect the tracking of your yak.

Last year Sharon posted a picture on BWE, showed a mako attacking her bait tube. She called it watch those feet.

I want to see the ratio of people that have used bait tubes in our coastal waters in the history of the sport, to actual attacks caused by using one. Lot of people have irrational fears for no reason.
Make one and give it a try either you will love it for is simplicity and keeping your yak less cluttered or you will hate it because it slows you down and gets hooked up on kelp.

I used a bait tube for years before building a bait tank. One instance of a sea lion pushing it around a bit but never giving it a hard pull. For a minimalist approach bait tubes are great.

That's what I mean, I don't want to be unnecessarily worried, but I don't want to be stupid and attract sharks directly to my kayak. It sounds like most people don't have issues, and I could minimize the risk by having a longer tow rope with a quick detach.

Where on your kayak are you attaching the line? I'm assuming a side eyelet. Do you ever have problems with the line and your rudder? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
