Hook Em Live Bait Tubes — Keep Your Bait Swimming, Catch More Fish

Keeping bait alive and swimming is the key to catching big pelagic fish. Hook Em's Australian-made live bait tubes are built from marine-grade stainless steel and designed for serious offshore anglers. Browse the full range →

Why Use a Live Bait Tube?

A live bait tube draws raw seawater through a pressurised tube system mounted to your boat, keeping bait fish alive and healthy in your tank. The result? Livelier bait that swims harder, lasts longer, and catches more fish.

If you're chasing tuna, kingfish, or marlin with live bait, a quality bait tube system is one of the best investments you can make.

Installation Tips

  • Position below waterline — gravity helps maintain water flow

  • Rinse after every trip — flush with fresh water to prevent salt buildup
  • Check fittings regularly — stainless is tough but connections can loosen from vibration
