Ive been peddling and using a Hobie Livewell (scupper pickup) for ther past several months. I took my old bait tank (over the side) out with me today. The drag is very evident, especially when moving faster than cruzing speed. I never noticed any drag when I used to paddle. Just spoiled now I guess.
I have a hard time remembering to set the pump back in the water after I exit the kelp. Picking kelp, eel grass, and trash bags off the pump sucks too. Also becomes another thing for your line to get wrapped around.
Have you ever used a hobie livewell? I like the size but there are way too many things inside that can beat up your bait. I say build you own scupper pickup tank for 1/3 of the price.
