4. Use an empty drink pouch to store your stink bait.

For this easy fishing hack, rinse out the fruit juice pouch and reuse it to store stink bait. A pouch like this is waterproof, airtight, and more durable than a zip-seal plastic bag. Cut across the bag right under the straw hole and then wash, dry it, and then fill it.

You can reseal the pouch with a heat tool, such as a hair straightener by running it across the edge. Cut a notch in the resealed edge so you can easily access bait while on the water.

In addition to having a handy pouch to put your stink bait in, don't be surprised if another fisherman asks to borrow this useful tool that's super easy to construct after the break. This will make dealing with backlash a lot more manageable.
