PIMPyour bait elastic container

[murnblood]

Sick of your bait elastic disappearing back into the container, and it normally happens on the coldest wettest nights.

I took the insert out of a drinks bottle, lucozade sport (I think it was) and planted it onto the top of my container and it works a treat. It is easier to thread the elastic through and it stops the elastic going back into the container, see attached photo.
i will post the method that I used later.

thats a cracking idea, , never used one because 'thread always went back in'

EXCELLENT IDEA, OFF TO UPGRADE IT NOW

Thats a good idea alright, used to hate the way the elastic kept pulling itself back into the container.

Get a lid from a lucozade sport bottle and push the white plastic insert out with a pointed tool.
Then use a 10mm drill bit to make a hole in the container lid and glue the bottle top into the lid using super glue.
SIMPLE

what stops it going back in??

Dont understand.....

The flappy yoke

Its like the valves they stick in people when their arteries give a bit of trouble.

Hey murnblood that can be your next project; pimp my Artery
Give the HSE a run for thier money !

Its like a little rubber non return valve.

Enlarge the photo to see.

how do i enlarge it?

jeesus i feel stupid..............

There is an alternative to the bottle top.

You could just glue a piece of rubber to the lid (e.g a bit of inner tube) put a tiny slit into it and push the thread through it.

Cant see that not working either.

aaah right - now i got it

cud use top of a kids sippy cup too

DOH!!!

cracking idea mate. 'I have offically been pimped' hehe

bit more low tech and not so stylish, but i find an elastic band round the container with the thread underneath it works fine.

This is one thing that drives me mad baiting up then getting ur elastic "ARGH IS GONE BACK INSIDE!!!!" then after spending about 10 mins messing about with the thread, this idea will be used for the next time im out!

Very good Idea there!

Good thinking there. i will have to try to pimp mine up soon. I normally just go for the covered in bait and stinking look.

slightly off topic but still a way to "pimp" the container. i got some glow in the dark paint on ebay for the tip of my rod. i put a bit onto my elastic container and it works a treat if it falls off my box at night. you can see it glowing on the rocks or sand. hell of a lot easier than walking around with the headlamp glued to the ground looking for it.

as red said i did similar with my container but used reflective tape from halfords. also put it on my scissors, forceps, knife etc. its a gift for finding them in the sand
