They work well

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024

I think they’re a little pricey for what they are but it’s a name brand. There’s another brand about five bucks cheaper that doesn’t screw together, but pushes together and clips and works just as well. I have about eight of each in my lobster hoop nets.

Very difficult to open!

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024

Well, these are SO seal proof, that I couldnt get them open myself after use to clean out! I used screwdrivers in the holes and a wrench and still couldnt get this puppy open. I had to leave it on the back porch full of sardines : / It drove the neighborhood cats bonkers ; p

These are great. They’re durable and easy to use. They’re just pricey

Best bait holder on the market!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019

These are by far the best bait holders I’ve ever used! I pack them with cut up deboned Chicken parts, Squid, Mackerel and Anchovy’s. They hold a lot of bait and long lasting for a 24 hour soak. I pack them the night before and freeze. I’ve used many other bait holders but these are my standard now. They are rugged and quality built! Well worth the money and my full pots of Dungeness crab have easily given me a quick return on investment. The only downside is that the cover easily comes off especially if you have bait soaked in an oily crab attractant. I take a small cable tie and run it through one of the holes in the bait tube and then up through where the wire exits the cap. This will hold it in place and it doesn’t come loose.

Very sturdy and seal proof

Dang seals know how to open the metal cages, but not these. They are definitely seal proof, and are large enough for 1 large salmon head and a medium sized smelt or mackerel.

Kept the Sea Lions Out

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022

Sea lions kept breaking into my metal bait cage so I bought this. Went out last weekend and watched as the sea lion dove down and then back up empty handed. Caught our biggest crab that day!

I’ve seen reviews that the screw cap is flimsy or not high grade plastic but I haven’t had that experience. Caps worked great and the plastic seems extremely durable.

Costs too much but I caught more crab with the same bate than with the metal wire type.

Bate lasts longer.

The crab were totally trashing my other bait boxes and was only getting about two soaks out of them. These new bait tubes are super heavy duty pvc. They will NOT break. Only downside is that the weep holes are a little large. I use 27% fat walmart hamburger (yuck) mixed with canned cat food. It seems to wash out a little too easy while underwater. Put the mixture into an old gym sock, then into the tube and it will last a lot longer. This is a great product. You won't need any other bait boxes.

Well made...but I believe it would be better to make your own for way LESS COST! Here's how...

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020

I am giving it 3 stars for the value versus cost. Yes it is well made, I'll give it that, but for north of $30 (with S&H), I can't further justify the dollars spent for this product. Also, It is not that big either...but that is my fault for not paying attention to the dimensions... so, for the 2nd unit, I made my OWN that is actually BETTER for way less cost. It is SO easy. Here's how...

Take some 3 inch PVC scrap pipe, and cut it down to around 12 inches (or how ever long/short you want) in length. Using PVC cement, glue a 3" PVC end cap on the pipe. Then, PVC cement a 3" female threaded screw PVC coupling to the other end. This will be your access using a 3" male threaded PVC end cap. After you cut the 3 inch pipe to length, randomly cut 1 inch holes throughout! Drill a lot of BIG holes! YES, Drill ONE inch holes because what makes mine unit better is that you are going to take a sheet of 1/4" chicken wire (I used stainless) and cut to the length of the pipe so it can roll up and spring INSIDE of the pipe walls! Run some para-cord to (always hanging around the house) through a 1/4" drilled hole, tie a knot inside of the cap. Fill with your favorite chum/bait and secure it with the 3 inch male threaded cap. It works GREAT!
