custom bait tube... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I got really tired of my bait tank not working at the worse time due to bad contacts or corrosion or a bunch of other things that always seemed to pop up on the water.
I now use a 2'' by 2' piece of abs with drilled caps. I can get 5 or six macs in there. Greenbacks will last a long time, spanish not as much, but still as long as a bait tank.
One problem I haven't found a solution to is the tube banging the side of the kayak when I am not paddling
Also twice Iv'e had the bait tube get grabbed. Once by a young seal, and once at night by something strong enough to pull me backward at a scary speed. I now use a break off(40lb mono)connector on the tow line.
I am all for Low Tech if I can get a way with it. Yaky yak
