You will need a mesh laundry bag, zip ties and a pool noodle. Takes less than 30 minutes to construct and should work well to keep fish alive for much longer than if on a regular stringer.

Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzfaq.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

Easy button. the white one cost me 3 bucks. pool noodle, zip ties package and the laundry bag each $1.00 at the dollar store. Great idea, glad someone else had the same idea so I could prove my boyfriend that I wasn't crazy. Thanks for the vid. good ideas.

That is an excellent idea. I used PVC pipe being sealed it on the top circle. I later added a cage to keep the netting from collapsing on the fish.

Some things to keep in mind for this is that you need some form of structure so the fish can move around and stay upright, when you are moving, these both will float up to the surface and entangle and trap the fish, killing it. Make sure if you use the bag, to add some wire hanger strucure to make it rigid as well as some form of heavy weight on the bottom to keep it fully submerged in the water. Another thing to keep in mind is that the mesh bags and cloth will become EXTREMELY SMELLY. Which is why i opted for a complete metal livwell.

Kowpoke Kev Crappie are certainly capable of out-producing other fish and they will directly compete with bass for available forage once they grow big enough. Small crappie make really good bait for big fish ;) but are protected in public (Texas) lakes and rivers from being used as bait.

These work fine as long as they remain stationary with no wind and current on them. Making them DIY is better than buying them from Promar. Promar has had them for years. Don't try to use these from a float tube or kayak! Goes without saying, but thought I'd say it anyway. Great video. Thanks 👍

Rob Dyer Doesn't seem to matter because the sides close in on the fish and they feel protected so they don't swim around much. I've had a dozen crappie in the white one and it floats just like it is empty.

Rachel Esler you could tie off to the handles or 3 or 4 point tie it to a rope and drop it off the side of the pier. It will drain out as you lift it. Problem is though the barracuda would shred it and steal all your bait.
