Quick take
A collapsible nylon-mesh live bait cage with floating cord that keeps minnows, shrimp, and other baits fresh and active.
This collapsible floating basket is made for holding live bait such as minnows, shrimp and crayfish while you fish. A foam ring and a 2.6-meter floating cord keep the mouth of the net at the surface, so the bait stays in contact with air. Two braided steel wires split the nylon mesh into two layers, so the basket folds flat for carrying, and a drawstring closes the opening. It works in both saltwater and freshwater.
