sleek3 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 hey guys basically i am strictly land base but i want to transport my live bait in my car...because i like going from a wharf to another spot that doesnt have live bait because the wharves get too packed..... do you have any ideas on what i can make to do this. i use to use a big bucket with an aerator but seems to splash around too much..... thanks raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Use one of them white buckets with a lid, the ones that look like the massive paint buckets as they have a good seal on the lid. Drill 2 small holes in the top. One for the aerator hose(take stone off, thread threw and put stone back on. The other is to let air back out, put a small length(5cm, 2.5 each side) of aerator hose threw it, it will reduce splash n spill when transporting. Or buy a Plano http://www.planomolding.com/fishing/fishing-products/ Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregL Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Tackle shops do have them, my 2 local ones sell them. Hardware stores would be the best bet and cheaper I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimyo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Restaurants have 20lt buckets of mayo they usually throw out. You could always walk in or call one and ask the chef if you could have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
