For Anyone who needs a cheap easy way too keep your bait shiners,shad,etc. alive this next DIY project should be checked out.
Started off with a 1ftx1ft half inch pvc pipe glued into a square.Then i stretched a walmart nylon linen bag over all corners of the pipe and zip tied it. I made sure to secure around the pull string tab good, this is where i will tie my rope.

Dont make the mistake i did and buy short zip ties!!!
I had too puncture through my pipe insulation too reach.
But the next step is pretty easy too just zip tie some cut pieces of pipe insulation for floatation and secure a good tie line too the pull tab.

2 Mods can be made for this which i didnt incorperate or need are: Weighted net so it will stretch out good and not float on top(i throw a few rocks in it).
The other is a mesh folding or hoop net funnel style top for jumping pan fish/bait fish.
Other than that it was been tested mutiple times and is getting tested again tommorow will post pics soon.
Has already held 2-2ft alligator gar and has no rips.
