You have to admit, bait tubes do look suspicious. Whenever I have mine on the beach, that's what the passer-byes lock their eyes on. "What is that?"

A mako shark attacked my bait tube this year. Must have been Homeland Security.

Live bait keeper
Document Type and Number:
United States Patent 6442887

Abstract:
A PVC pipe is closed at one end with a cap. Small holes are provided in the pipe for fresh water exchange from the interior of the pipe to the exterior. A screw-off top cap enables bait to be inserted or removed from within the pipe. A stainless chain with snap hook is attached to the top of the pipe, and serves as a tether to limit the distance between the live bait keeper and a firm anchor, such as an eye
