ABSTRACT:
A light-weight, longitudinally extending, bottle-like fishing bait container for live minnows and the like has a body of transparent or see-through wall construction with a neck at one end thereof on which a lid is removably mounted for cleaning-out purposes. The body of the container is adapted to be carried in an endwise-suspended relation on the clothing belt of a fisherman by a flexible connector chain or the like of a clamping assembly, and also to be pulled behind a boat in a lengthwise floating and partially submerged relation. The connector chain is secured to the ring of a centrally positioned mounting boss or post on the lid. The lid has a central bait inserting and removing open portion in a bottom segment thereof, and a side group of water and air circulating holes therein in a balanced, side-positioned relation with respect to said open portion. A closure member of substantial quadrant shape is, at its inner end, swingably pivoted by a stem extending backwardly from the mounting boss substantially centrally of the lid. Importantly, the closure member is weighted to cooperate with the end assembly in always retaining a bottom half of the body in a substantially longitudinally aligned, submerged relation with respect to the surface of a body of water.
