small plug bag to use with a wetsuit?

[angler229]

I've been using a Aquaskinz pro elite sidearm and generally its all I need for wetsuiting, I carry 2 needles a metal lip and darter in it. But I might pick up a elite 2 barrel for the times when I plan to fish into daylight just to have a little more variety.

the as tall bag is great, but will only last one season, in my findings,


last year i used a vs single row, great bag, good price, holds enough stuff to fish the night into daybreak.

never rinsed, never washed down, still looks break new.

I just made one with a small hunter's pouch and a couple empty poland spring(lemon) bottles. I simply left the caps on the bottles and cut the bottoms off.Could probably fit three bottles if I wanted to. I'll try to get a pic up. Cost was $15 and I can keep my camera and several spare eel rigs in it too.

What a thrifty guy!
I'm sure your wife appreciates how little you spend on fishing tackle.

Mike,
Can you post pics or explain of how you transport eels? Do you guys put wholes in those jars? How do you fasten the lids so you don't lose them? Do you put them on a strap or rope or clip it to your belt. I denitely need to improve my eel trasnportation to a wetsuit friendly method. I don't like the individual baggies and soft coolers don't drain well. Don't like the eel bag either.

The photo of the mayonaise jar was a bit of a tease.

Thats funny I was gonna ask if bass liked their eels with Mayo. Maybe thats what I'm doing wrong

My dad uses something similar. He has a plastic juice bottle with a small neck like a very fine or oceanspray bottle and drills a hole in the removable screw on top and in the bottom of the bottle. Put a thin rope thru bottom of the bottle, pass it out thru the neck and thru the hole in the lid then tie the end of the rope so it can go over your shoulder. It works ok. You can't lose the lid as its on the rope and the small neck usually lets you pour them out one at a time. To get them in take a gallon milk jug, cut the bottom off and use it as a funnel...

1. Mayo jar with tethered lid.

2. Belt loop attached to side of jar.

3. Drill holes in bottom so slime and melted ice can get out.

4. I can put about 15 decent eels in the mayo jar at a time without any catastrophies.
