Hosts warren,

Get yourself a stonfo bait table with an extendable bankstick and the Ian holds double tray and you'll be covered for any situation. Neither one is much use in high winds though. I found the ones that clip on to the tripod legs unreliable, the plastic clips will bend out and dump yr bait.
I require a tremendous amount of calcium

I use the Anyfish Anywhere Bait Pack on the legs of my tripod, works a treat.
Put a cat litter tray inside and a few tubs with your chosen baits. I keep scissors, thread and spare leads in it also.

Do you prefer the stonfo bait station rather than the tray that just holds the square worm tubs sean?

The Imax one that fixes to the tripod legs is great.

Suppose it depends on the situation. The stonfo tray has loads of little adaptations that I like, others might prefer the square tray

Got the Ian Golds double tray recently, use it with the supermatch tripod, delighted with it so far. Secures nicely to pod and big enuf to hold everything, makes moving up and down with the tide really handy too.

Stops the doggies (4 legged) munching my bait :D...........at this stage anything else munching the bait would be GREAT :cry:

I use a single Ian Golds tray with my barney box. It has three drawers and a top compartment which can fit a beta box tray. If its raining I just close it all up and the bait is nice and snug and dry. I have used this set up for years and it always gets a giggle!!!
The Barney box is the way to go!!!

Paint it black, call it a flashy Italian name & put a logo of a cool futuristic fish on it - €99 each no problem.
