Anyone using this new Torpedo?

I have been hauling finger mullet behind me with the Fraible bait bucket & it feels like a sea anchor behind me. Usually need to haul it into the kayak while I transit from one place to another. I think this may be the answer.

Can anyone comment?

I have not used it, but I like the look of it. I wonder how well it would work for shrimp.

Looks like the commercialized version of the PVC bait tube that you can make for about two dollars.

yeah...but not so clunky. A user on a kayak mag mentioned it was only 15 ounces .... & great for shrimp.

So no one has used this bait bucket yet & can comment on how the drag has been significantly reduced or not?

you could also pull your bucket in while traveling and use a small battery powered bubbler to keep the bait alive.
