The Frabill can be taken out of the water and set in the tank well when you have to make a long haul. Just dip it every now and then to refresh the water. Plus the spring loaded access means you just reach in and grab what you need. No unscrewing then screwing anything back on.
Also, the water doesn't drain out every time you need a new bait adding stress to your bait.
IMO the bait tube it a total PITA!
I like this idea or add a 6volt pump with a plastic surgical tube going inside the bucket. When you want to move hook the tube to the pump put it In with you and when you ready to anchor just drop the bucket to the side. Pump is only needed when on the move so don't have to worry about killing the battery. Worst comes to worst and your batteries died then you can keep it in and ot of the water
