Live bait needs to swim around in order to circulate water thru their gills, thus I would suggest a real bait tank in order to maximize your fishing experience.

Without a doubt, you will catch more fish with quality bait. Just because your bait is still barely breathing and able to swim after living in a bait tube, doesn't justify limiting the amount of strikes you will get. A "hot bait" will get bit ten times more often, especially in slower conditions. Buy a tank or make a tank, if you want to catch more fish.
