A better bait cage.
After being completely fed up with the promar bait cages, I've decided to build my own.
Things I hate about the promar cages. - The hooks to keep the doors on break after a while - They make stacking the hoops a pain - When bugs are thick, it's too easy for them to clear all your bait. - They get stepped on and bend - They're annoying to store - Chunked bait falls right out - Needs some sort of fastener After seeing my friend do REALLY well on bait tubes, I got to thinking. What can I do to improve. Here's what I've come up with. These hold about 3-5 sardines broken in half. They lasted all night still packed with bait. Didn't need to do 1 bait change Pros - Cost 1/2 as much as a promar to make - They slip right into the bait pocket in the bottom of almost all hoops - Almost every hardware store carries them - They are solid plastic/pvc, means no rust and nothing to break - Smaller slits makes bait last a lot longer - Requires no fasteners - Makes stacking hoops much cleaner and easier on the back of a kayak - You can fit all 5 in a 1 gallon freezer bag already loaded with bait for the next trip - Easy to clean out and store - They float, incase one comes loose - Bugs can't eat them from the outside (ambush/ecplipse users), they need to get in the hoop - SEAL PROOF I know the biggest question everyone is thinking to themselves.... DO THEY WORK?? Well tonight, I put them to the test. See photos . . . . . . . . . . . . Last edited by Drake; 10-05-2012 at 11:40 PM. |
