Have you been looking for a baitwell designed for your fishing kayak? Santa Cruz has come up with one that fits well in nearly any kayak. As with anything you add to a small vessel, it needs to have more than one purpose if possible. Therefore, this baitwell has four rod holders attached. There are various accessories available such as a pump kit, on-off switch, quick disconnect and thru hulls to plumb the baitwell. The folks at Jack’s Kayaks have put together an all-inclusive kit to make setting up your new baitwell a breeze.

It is believed to be a rare melanistic Florida gar.Editorial Staff
