Torpedo Bait Bucket??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JasonG · 06-24-2020, 08:19 AM

Hey everyone, first post here. I'm just getting into kayak fishing, been out in SD Bay a handful of times and finally going to make my first trip out to La Jolla this week. I'm setup with everything I need EXCEPT a live well. My preference would be not to hassle with one and keep my setup as simple as possible and either fish exclusively with irons, or jig for one Mac at a time.

Has anyone tried one of these tow-behind bait buckets? Thought this might be a simple alternative... https://www.amazon.com/Torpedo-Bait-...g-goods&sr=1-2

I'm concerned about drag, but it won't be deployed until paddle out to the kelp and catch bait, so I'm hoping it won' be much of an issue while trolling... but I haven't done this yet, so not sure.

I went ahead and ordered one, I'll update the thread and let everyone know if it worked out or was a complete failure.
