Thats a great one. I had thought about putting one on the back (cut in half long ways) but never thought about doing it that way.

It would be a drag to paddle behind you but I was thinking about putting it on the front deck or behind me while paddling. I was also thinking about one that came with a lid.

I have two concerns about the live well.

1. Fish jump. It needs a screen over the top of come sort. I think you could use one of those DIY window screen kits or maybe shade cloth to keep them from jumping out.

2. How do you paddle with that thing behind you? I guess you could put it in your lap. On the other hand, it would function like a drift chute in windy conditions. If your bank fishing..this thing would rock!

I've got another noodle use, but I've got to get a pic of it first.

It would drain easy, so pulling it out of the water would be a piece of cake.

I personally think that the live well is a bad idea. Even after adding a lid, it's too large to pull with your kayak and too bulky to carry it above the water. A simple stringer would do for me. In freshwater, you don't have to worry about a large predator taking your stringer so it's not a safety concern. I try to go by the KISS principle.

I used to have an SUV and padded the factory rack with pool noodles when I hauled my kayaks. I still use pool noodles as rod floats when I go fishing BTB.

I like the rod holder idea. Simple and efficient!

I use the noodles to plug the scupper holes in my SOT to keep my butt dry.

Great ideas.

Old popping corks work as scupper plugs, too. I use 'em in the back area/well.

How do you keep water from coming through the hole in the center of the noodle?

Gotta say the rod holder is a new one for me, and I love the idea. I'll be stealing that one.

I like the rod holder. I would think the live well would only be good for bank fishing. Too bulky for the yak but great idea.
