My new live bait well...DIY w/ plastic peanut butter jar - 02/23/15 05:42 PM
I decided to try something different when it came to a live bait well for my kayak. I had already made the PVC tube and that was a pain to drag in the water when paddling. Couldn't put it in the kayak for too long since all the shrimp would die from no water. So I made this with 2 large plastic jars. One has no holes and can hold a little bit of water and then put the slightly smaller one in that one when paddling to a different location (also can clip the aerator on the outside of the larger one to keep bait fresher longer). The smaller jar has lots of holes for water flow. I clip it to my anchor trolley ring while I am fishing. I heated up a 16d nail with a torch an punctured the jar in a ton of places. It doesn't take up a ton of space and the bait stays fresh and basically just cost me my time to make (while I was having a yard sale) I am all about making stuff on the cheap but only if it looks pretty decent. What have you guys done for your live bait wells?
