Here are the bait tubes I made. Same basic idea. They work great.

Nice set up... are those small hinges you installed on the trap door? Are they stainless steel or? Won't they rust quickly if they aren't? I looked for some small s/s hinges at Home Depot the other day and came up empty handed... I kind of like the trap door idea!

Thanks! Yes they are small "brass" hinges that I got at Home Depot.I figured they might tarnish and turn green if anything. The trap door makes it easy to get bait in and out of the tubes.

What is the white piece the bungee catches on to keep the lid closed? Also, how is it mounted? Glued to the surface of the pipe or what? Thanks for sharing your design, looks like a great solution.
