Just had an idea for a more aerodynamic nose cone for your setup. I have been struggling with trying to think of a wayto build a bullet shaped nose cone but the solution might have been right in front of my eyes. Cut the top 7 inch or so off of a 3L bottle if you can find them. Run the towing rope through that bottle opening and then to the bait tube as configured. When you're ready to paddle just slide the 3-liter bottle top down over the front of the bait tube. It should stay in place while underway creating less drag...but is still easy to get out of the way to access your bait through the front

Still an excellent video and diy!

Small craft advisory ruined my fishing plans today so I bought all the materials I needed and built a bait tube. Thanks for the instructional video.

Thank you, for a better way to do the cap on my bait tube. Greetings from Kona.

You are the man bro. I predict your channel blowing up!

You can use 2 ver large swivels both on the kayak side and the tube side it stops tangling very much. Good work.

Thanks for posting this video. I have been using your design fishing from myWaverunner and it is a working exceptionally well so far. I did modify your design just a little bit because of the speeds I will be trolling at by completely closing off the front with a screw-on cap and purposely drilled my half-inch holes at a forward-facing angle so that water would slick by when I'm at speed... Then I melted the holes a little bit to try and smooth them out so I won't cheese grate my bait. I thought if the holes were drilled at a forward trajectory would prevent my bait from getting power washed if I went too fast with them. So far I have packed the tube with as many as five goggle eye and have trolled with the tube as fast is 15 miles per hour for quite a few miles and the goggle I have been just fine. Still waiting to test it out with opelu.

the video we've all been waiting for!

Haha rad my question made it on your vid 😊 gonna make this..thank alot for taking the time to make the vid im sure i speak for everyone when i say we appreciate it...im gonna put it on my float tube then my kayak when i get another..going to Home Depot now 😆

Right on man!

That same piece of 4" x 24" ABS is now $29!

Okay so sea trial completed with good results. Used one live bait which got trashed by our local species of Barracoutta. Will be using stinger hook set up in future. Thanks for posting this video. It really helped. Sadly no one here will sell a small quantity/length of ABS tube so I had to make it using other black tube.

Great video tutorial 😀

I especially like this video. Making stuff and catching fish with the help of things you make yourself makes fishing even more enjoyable. Hope it gets more views.

Thank you for this! I hope to fish with you one day!

Good mention on how it can slow you down

Nice tutorial!

Just made mine. I was using an5 gallon bucket with holes halfway up all around to the top. When I go to paddle I'd bring it into my boat and let half water spill out. Works but you tube design is going to be best.

Awesome video

Awesome thx for video， I has seem hobie kayak I will try ur way，cheers

Great video, very informative. I have been admiring your rod holder set up on back of your Kayak. Any chance you might be willing to share how that was made? Thanks again for sharing your fishing exploits, there are lots of us living vicariously thru you and them. Dean

Very helpful video. I place funnel in front less drag

@butler Did you end up making that bait tube for halibut fishing in cali??? I made one and i stuck a several sardines in it but didnt last very much... How was your expirience?

This is fucking sick bro, much love from nz cant wait to binge this channel. KEEP IT UP

I Like Your Hat!!

Awesome idea! Looking forward to less drag on my yak hauling bait. Question: with the tube being black do you ever have issue with bait overheating if it's a full sun day?

Thank you for posting this! I'm ready to make one and this is the best design that I've seen so far. As far as towing, do you think it would work to use a really short leash and keep it pinned against one side of the yak, our would the drag and bumping be too much?

Just a little hint after screwing up your lids by hand dont tighten them any further, just store them upside-down this will slow/stop the contents going off👍

Thanks great how to video, next for me is the Rod holder set up, it appears to be something you built as well, do you mind explaining it?

Hi I just bought the penn warfare 30 planning to comb with the tiger elite rod what size you recommend

Nice 1! BTW what have you found the best and easiest way to unhook your bait fish from the sabiki rig? I noticed what appears to be a home made tool @ 13:35/15.11

I am buying a revo 13 next week. I have a grand Cherokee. Can you describe your roof rack arrangements with links to gear please 🙏🏻

Nice man! Best lookin bait tube I’ve found in KZread. I just bought all the parts for it. Gonna use it for mackerel for California yellowtail this weekend. Have you had a chance to use it without the holes in the abs? Just wondering how the bait held up without the extra holes drilled

Hi. I’ve just about finished constructing my bait torpedo. No sea trials on it yet. Minimal variation in materials. Do/did you have any issues with it spinning/spiralling etc?

I fish from a boat, but still trying to get consistent catching opelu. Make a video please!!!!!

How long is your kayak mate.. Thanks for the response new subscriber here😊 cheers

if i make it 4’ will i be able to fit more opelu? Mahalo🤙🏾

Have you ever tried keeping the tube adjacent to the kayak? So attaching it loosely right next to the seat? No tangles that way. I’ve never tried just wondering

What fish bag do you use??

What about live shrimp. Would a shorter tube work?

My only question is does the black tube not overheat the fish ? I have a bait tube and it’s not that great. My only concern with this is the Florida heat to much for the black tube

What's the purpose of attaching a bungie to your kayak instead of rope?

I’m sure you’ve seen-Everyone’s using your bait tube setup! Keep posting your action out there on that kayak. And patent your next invention dude! Haha

Do you think this tube is too small for sardines/mackerel? It's what's available in SD. Thanks

I also found out that inside of the 4 in PVC screw on cap with the square plug topone of these things fits absolutely snug and perfectly so that you can light up your bait tube from the inside as it floats so you can keep an eye on where it's actually at if needed. I figure if my setup ever gets broken off somehow that will give me one last chance to find it floating in the dark. My white PVC schedule 40 does float just fine though. They are called marcala LED road flares. MARCALA LED Road Flares www.amazon.com/dp/B07KW97KZF/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_58h5EbJ187V7K

When i grow up i want to like you

is there not a risk of jamming the rope with the rudder? what length do you give to the rope? Why not align the tube with the kayak (using 2 carabiners) by spacing it with foam to avoid shocks?

sorry all answers are at the end of the video...

Y not just a small 3-4 gallon bucket with an air raider that u can put behind your set between the rocket launcher. I’m sure there’s something u can rig up where u can place a small bucket. Then u don’t have to worry about dragging baits along slowing u down or getting tangled.

Didn't you make a DIY nav light video?

Bro the bait are hard to find! Caught alot of goat fish and used them for bait with no luck. How far offshore do you go? I was in 300-500 ft of water in mamala bay

That is just how it is this time of year. If you can’t find bait anywhere else look in 60ft. This time last year I might spend 3 hours looking for bait. The bait schools are further out to sea this time of year, the trick is getting to them right at sunrise. It takes a long time to get to know a spot well enough to predict where the bait will be. Often times I will just get a feeling and drop or troll without marking anything and will pick up one. The 30 minutes before sunrise is your best shot to catch a bunch of bait before the bait dies.

My only question is does the black tube not overheat the fish ? I have a bait tube and it’s not that great. My only concern with this is the Florida heat to much for the black tube

Maybe, I haven’t had that issue yet. My tubes get regularly submerged as I pedal.
