If you turn that glue upside down after using it it will not dry up on you and you can keep it fresh longer. Thanks for sharing.

I think you paid too much for the drill, but hey it did the job...

Paul Molter - 7 years ago

I think running a cord the length of it pur holes in the end caps to keep the tube contained.

Hi yes will this work when u are not moving and also do the fish not need to swim around to survive and have any sharks came to u when it's in the water

Put a pool noodle float along the length of one side so it floats,use zip ties to mount pool noodle.
I made one and it works great !!
Also,so that you don't lose the lower tube,put a 550 para cord line going up to the lid line.
NICE CHEAP BAIT TANK !!

You should do holes in front cap and back to help circulate the water

how do you make it float?

PUT A POOL NOODLE WITH ZIP TIES ALONG ONE SIDE !

Where I live in the Pacific Northwest the scent may just a track Killer whales. But here's a thought about making it
float better. Strap some pool noodles to it maybe a bit on the front and back just enough to keep it half buoyant.

im looking to build one , i notice you dont use this in any of your newer videos. does this create a lot of drag?

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

this is pretty expensive though, the 4 inch pipe alone is 20$ for 10 feet at home depot, thats the smallest lenght they have, then u said u paid 10 dollars for everything else, u already had the 4 inch pipe u said, so that would mean 10$ for fittings and pvc cement thats like 30$ but u will be able to make like 3 or 4..... expensive or u could pay the same amount and get a hobie kayak live well that mounts on to your kayak with bungee cords and other brackets lol imma go with the hobie live well

Hobie livewell for 30? Not in this life.....

Countryboysoutdoors 16 - 8 years ago

For everyone making there own Home Depot sells sewer pipe already perforated and it's a lighter gauge so it won't weigh as much dragging behind your yak still pvc just already has holes drilled

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

+Countryboysoutdoors 16 I just made it with what was laying around the house. I wasn't trying to spend any money lol.

Red Beard - 8 years ago

If I cut slits in the caps so water would flow through would it work as a pull along live well? Use it on a freshwater kayak.

VF6 - 8 years ago

+Red Beard doing a slit would probably work better, not at first but after it filled with water, but when its filling with water it might drag along

Red Beard - 8 years ago

+Yak Motley thanks.

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

+Josh Sharp yeah prolly. Its designed to pull along. I just used a drill because its easy.

Jbay2608 - 8 years ago

I've never seen such a short power cable on a drill before. Great video by the way, I'm thinking of using the larger diameter pipe, to see if I can fit more baits in.

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

+Jbay2608 lol for real! I got it at a yard sale lol!

Paul Tran - 8 years ago

Hey Jack,
I'm thinking about making a bait tube like yours but i like to cover both ends with nets that I get from my old cast net to reduce drag and then I make an opening along the tube to get baits in and out of the tube. what do you think? Will that work?

YoYo mio - 6 years ago

I'm still waiting Paul. How did it go?

Paul Tran - 8 years ago

I'll have my bait tube tested this coming Monday. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

+Paul Tran Hmm, interesting idea. Probably, I guess you will have to try it.

AL Jalhel - 8 years ago

Forget the bait tank. Where do you live? sounds like got a river. property looks like paradise I envy you hahaha. thanks for the vid mate.

Paul Tran - 8 years ago

Thank you

Paul Tran - 8 years ago

Hi,
I wonder if you're still using this bait tube? How well does it work?

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

sure did.

Paul Tran - 8 years ago

Oh..lol..but did it work well?

Yak Motley - 8 years ago

+Paul Tran I lost it fighting a shark one night. lol

Sebastian Mera - 9 years ago

Nice. Can you post a video (or just comment) so we can see how your tube drifts through the water? How much drag does your tube have? And does it float, suspend, or sink? Thanks....MH

Yak Motley - 9 years ago

+Critter Gitter the tubes work great!The drag is manageable and bait tubes are very popular around here. I would put some floatation on it because it will sink lol!

Socal Hali killer Yakpak - 9 years ago

these are great but be careful using these in socal waters a lot of kayakers are getting there's ripped off by sharks this summer

Yak Motley - 9 years ago

+Socal Hali killer Yakpak Thanks. Ill lookout. I will video it when it happens lol!

That sounds like a real good idea. I will be interested to know how it works. To reduce drag and give better flow you might want to add holes in both ends.

Yak Motley - 9 years ago

+angry fish Works great. Most the offshore yakers I know have them. Less drag while moving and trolling.

Bodilly Q - 9 years ago

This got me thinking. Instead of putting kings and other long skinny fish on the front of your kayak in the hot sun, you could make something similar to this, but with 6 or 8 inch pipe and put your catch in that. Just a thought

Yak Motley - 9 years ago

+Jeremy Lighthall I just pull it way behind the kayak with a rope.

Pine Float - 9 years ago

That might be one of the best ideas I've heard of in a while, but the only concern I would have would be leaving a blood/scent trail in the water for sharks. I think its definitely worth trying.

Bodilly Q - 9 years ago

It would make a lot of drag in the water, but you could tie it to the sides of the kayak and it might add some stability, idk though
