I've been getting up a couple of crab bucket nets to drop of the kayak this summer but couldn't find a suitable bait cage. All the shops I've seen have huge bait cages that are way to big and bulky for the kayak. After giving up on the shops I had a look round the garage and spotted a length of PVC downpipe and thought that might have some potential.
After a little thought I cut four lengths, then cut 1/3 out of the circumference down the length of the tube. Some heat from the hot air paint stripper to one of the slices taken out then squashed between a couple of pieces of timber gave me a flat section to cut out some rounds with a hole saw. A touch of PVC cement and they're starting to take shape.
Once dried I'll take to them with a drill and add a couple of shark clips to attach to the nets
