Bait tank question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you want to make your own bait tank I would go with something like this, it's made out of a pet food container and works very well. If you don't want to build it yourself and want to just buy one....you can too from KFS. Alot of guys use this or something similar to this for their bait tank. If you have a hobie, the hobie bait tank seems to work good as well.

The mesh bait bag works well for squid, and if you want to travel light. Not so sure how it would work for fin bait...haven't tried it but, I don't think It would work well.....try it and let everyone know.

As far as pumps standard pumps from attwood or rule seem to be the most popular. 6v batteries are definitely recommended, over 12v, or 12v with a timer will work too.

Not trying to keep anything cold. Just though that container might work. I have seen the ultimate bait tank. Also don't really want to spend 200 bucks on it either but might end up doing so. Thank you all for the feedback.
