Hobie XL Bait Tank - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Any of you PA owners have one? Too much to have for the amount you actually need it?? Obtuse, big and too much??

It's not too big. Easy to get a bait net in, holds big Macs well. I wouldn't mind if it were even bigger because it's got a smaller opening than the Jackson Kkrate I had on my Kraken which was really nice. The regular Hobie tank seemed like the 8" hatch was just too small, glad I got the XL.

Love my XL tank, you can run it at 6 or 11 gallons. Rod holders are also spaced out a little better on the XL. Holds plenty of bait and the bait lasts all day!
