Good idea, but realy only needed for live bait. Bit expensive for me, and maybe a step to far for what we get up to here in the UK. Any one else have a view. terry

Should be ok for Sandeels and Joey Mackeral.But it would only be used for about 3 or 4 months of the year over here.

Maybe you could keep live shrimp in it aswell.But as you say Terry.Expensive for what it is.You could probably add another £60 to it if it was stocked over here.

I'm going to use my 7litre livebait bucket in the summer.It will only be used for sandeels as mackerel catch themselves! Like you said Terry it's a step too far

All the kit here is very over priced fo what it is, I was in spain a few weeks ago and their kayaking kit is around a 3rd of the price we pay. But I think that the tank is more for the US market with their longer fishing season, and better water to fish on. terry

Hi Richi.

I have the 7litre bucket too.I used it in Devon last year on the Yak.When I wasnt paddling I just took the inner Baskett out and tied it off over the side.The sandeels lasted all day.

I liked the roll over images, nice piece of detective work Zzippy, not sure even I would cut holes below the waterline

 

As for the price of everything over here being so high, I ordered a part for the Malibu 2 last friday, $7.91, postage for the said piece $30, it was an item that would fit in a small envelope no heavier than an empty fly reel, I think that brings the total over the magic £25 so I would also be charged duty and VAT on top, I cancelled the order.

 

Anyone going to the States
