Like they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions.

Keep in mind that towed bait systems are occasionally chewed on by toothy critters that want the bait inside. Right Kurt?

I took these rarely seen pics of Bacardi Donut Man a couple years ago, the kid probably got the idea from him, he's quite the legend around there

Hey, I used to get bait from that guy at DP in my "pre-yak" days. I made a sled off of his design for keeping bait alive off the rocks, but never from a yak.

IMHO I think it would be a great treat for the toothy critters, if trolling it behind the yak. I have had a mako go for my bait tube before, so I don't think I would troll that thing behind my yak.

I made this one. Less than $7.00. Keeps Dines good for several hours. and holds a full kayak scoop. I'm thinking of cutting it down.

I tried making one like Bacardi Donut Man but it kept tiping over while trolling. If I were to do that type again I would use and old Boogie board and the bucket would be set lower into the water.
