Zed asked why I put in just 2 greenbacks: It was the size, and from experience I know they don't take crowding as well as the indestructable spanish macs.

As far as getting them in and out, I was putting them in tail first, while squeezing lightly at the gills. Once the body was in I just let them slide in. Getting them out, I would cup my hand on the opening until the head was sticking out and squeeze at the gills again. The endcaps are $.79 each and a 10 foot piece of 2" pvc is like $5. If any of you guys come up with improving ideas let me know. I tend to want to skip the bait tank and just fish the one bait I caught. Sucks when it gets scraped by a calico or cuda or lost and you have to go grab another, while somebody goes BENDO right next to ya.
