Will this keep the bait alive? And how long will they stay alive for?

yes, but it would suck to paddle around. Do a search here for "bait tube" works much better ~$5 to make.

I tried dragging one of those baskets around and it create tons of drag. I ended up putting the fish and the basket on the kayak when I peddled, and then put it back in the water every few minutes to keep the fish alive. It was a real pain in the butt. If you're on a small budget definitely go with the bait tube.

But you're wearing a glove in your avatar so your opinion doesnt matter ;-)

Just kidding.

3rd on the bait tube.

When your finger is still cut open from a prior even bigger fish you'll wear a glove to.

They stay alive just until the sea lions rip the basket from the kayak. 4th on the bait tube...

you know that they make this special tape for your fingers. works great and dosn't make you look like a panzy.

save your fingers/thumbs before the damage is done

I would go with a bait tube also.
