Nice! should reduce drag and make it easier to get bait out without getting wet! :smt001
my new name should be Ostridge. Got my head in the sand. Going fishing and letting go of the other stuff I can't control anyway!

Great video! Honestly shocking they would charge $70 for a bait shark. It’s a price for some plastic is mind blowing  :smt012
Tight lines n’ good vibes

Cool idea Paul! I wish they made a bigger version of this tank, both longer and with a bigger door. I use smelt for bait pretty often, and the bigger ones don't fit very well. I have to be careful stuffing them in, and then they get cramped inside there.

Right!? Especially when the main competition is selling them for like $15, haha.

They do have two sizes for this tank at BP. I always use the larger one.
