Bait tubes

[45user]

So I went to homedepot...


I made 2" and 3" version. I am planning to take 2" version with bait tank as a back up and 3" version when I am not taking my bait tank.
We will see how it works this weekend.
Thanks for all your help!

That second one with the green drain caps is exactly what I made, 3" ABS pipe, glued one end up, put some duct tape on the other end so the cap would fit in there snuggly, ran a line all the way through and left about 10' to tie off to the yak so the tube will trail the rudder.

Great ideas on her thank guys! Havent tried it yet, can't wait to give it a go.

Flip the door shut, secure the strap with velcro, back over the side, and you are off fishing.

I haven't used this tube in a while and when I opened the door the velcro came off the strap and stayed stuck to it's mate. I need to re-glue it to the strap.

Are these orange bungies the same as the blue bungies you are using?

Thanks for sharing your design 45user. I look forward to trying it out the next time I'm on the water
