Tip of the day

[dheitzner]

Further to the 'Bait Management System' thread:

When first opening the Gulp Alive tub, do not remove or open the vacuum seal under the lid.

Instead, use a pocket knife and cut a small 'X' around 2"x2" seal in the center of the to get your bait out of.

If the vacuum seal is intact the container lids don't seem to leak.

I just keep the tub of them at home and put a few in a zip lock bag and away I go. When I get home, back in the tub she goes!

good tips!

Or just put them in a jar that don't leak............ small peanut butter jars work great.

 

I tried the tip about leaving the vacuum seal under the lid and just cutting a small hole in it but the tubs are such an awkward size for tackle bags it was just easier to put them in something else.

I do that as well and it can cause more of a mess sometimes. If the tub get tilted or upside down, that juicy goodness doesn't always drain back into the tub and you wear it.

I don't know why they didn't do a taller, skinnier tub that would fit in a cupholder. The bait floats, it's not like trying to get the last pickle out of the jar.

Those new tubs that look like somebody stepped on; that's hardly an improvement.

i agree with all of thees.. I personally cut a small x in the top and then i put an elastic band around the bottom threads on the container.. i find it ups the seal even more
