bait tank options?

[ctrujillo]

i have a 5 gal bucket bait tank i made.tank has a timer switch and over the side builge.proublem i am haveing is my bait doesnt live to lively thru out the day.my buddy had a stealth 14 and his bait is liveing well by days end.so after a little thought i am thinking that maybe i need to bulid a diffrent tank all together.maybe my bait is getting damaged by the scupper plug i use for a drain plug or the rivets i have used to mount my rod holders to the bucket?i would like to do without the drag of the builge over the side.maybe a pet container with a thru scupper builge.i also have thought on just carrying a bait motel rather than the tank less to carry and fish plastics at least half the day.although i am always going to be fishing live bait some time thruout my day looking fori am shure there is alot of diffrent opinions on this subject so i would like to hear them.i have a xfactor.here are some pics of my bait tank.thanks chuck
