A floating mesh basket with orange floats that keeps live bait accessible while allowing full water circulation for oxygenation.

Skip if
- You use artificial lures only
- You need enclosed storage for preserved bait
Strengths

- Mesh holes are small enough to hold tiny bait but large enough for water flow
- Drawstring prevents escape while allowing quick access
Trade-offs
