Chum box for sabiki

Anyone use a chum box/tube/etc when using a sabiki?  Thinking about rockfish regs, and increasing efficiency while getting/restocking bait.  One line with only 2 hooks can make that prospect time consuming, especially when wanting to get a working line back in the water. 

Was thinking about drillng holes into a short length of pvc pipe, capping both ends, and rigging a swivel in one end to hook to the bottom of a sabiki.  Fill the pipe with cut fish or squid, in hopes of attracting more baitfish faster. 

Anyone try this before? 

I made some keelah chum with oats, cat food, all my old frozen ghost and mud shrimp and other baitfish.  Divided the blended goo into ziplock bags holding about 1 cup each.  I break off finger fulls and toss em'.  Drop the sabiki tipped with shrimp.  I cannot tell if I attracted the bait or if I was on it but I got bait slammed and was smiley faced.

Interesting idea. Why not put a hook on the bottom the PVC pipe, and you might catch a lingcod, along with your bait...

I've chummed the water around the dock with just cut up anchovies, before, and totally attracted smelts.  Where there were none to be had, suddenly there were many. Hoping to replicate this on the kayak...

Ooo, you might be on to something here. Only trouble, I wouldn't catch much bait with only one sabiki hook, haha.

All you have to do is tie it off to your kayak. Don't tie it to your line. That's just going to scatter all of your scent and chum. If you tie it to your yak, the bait will come to you and stick around. I've done this several times will good success for the smelt!

Oh, that's a great idea. Much easier, haha.

I've used a chum canister for crabbing and put a weight in or on it to keep it down...
 

can of cheap cat food and a teaspoon.  Last you all day. It breaks up, and also leaves the oil slick.

Not that I ever actually do that myself...

Bushy

This idea shows promise, maybe use above a sabiki?

Thanks for all the ideas! I think I'm gonna put a can of cat food in my box for days when the bait is tough to get.

Today was not that day, haha. Smelt were everywhere at Pacifica. I think they must be spawning? Perfect bait sized smelt were all over a dirty brown smear ribbon about 1/2mile long. Even some really big smelt were scattered around, like 14" or so. Too big for bait, or at least for the hooks I had with me, haha.

Found this stuff in Japan.  Same as the others, sits on top of the sabiki and showers whatever you put on it over the hooks.  The bag is a squid flavored filling.
  I tried it out at SC but didn’t catch more bait that my buddy.  As Ted informed us there are no fish at SC. It bobbed while trolling like it had a little chovy stuck on it and blows through the chum quick.  Seems good for a stationary jig but chum blows so fast it’s lost if trolling with it. Have another set that has a 1/4oz ball inside.  Haven’t tried it so can’t say how differently it acts.
