They are not Wide enough, Home Depot Had nothing to fit my needs.. Might Try Shampoo Bottles, or Tennis Ball tubes(which might be to wide) I will see What I can Come Up With.. If not I will order some from Commando Surfcasting.
Thanks for all the input

Here are some shampoo bottles - add drain holes, duct tape together, put in bag. Just wash your hair a lot!

That's all we used back in the 70s before there were even surf bags. We use to buy army surplus gas mask bags at the Army Navy store and use Suave shampoo bottles cut off, drilled to drain and duck taped together.

No boat, back in the suds.

The thin walled PVC for central vac systems ~2" is a bit smaller than tennis tubes and it and the caps are cheap. You'll find it in the area of HD or Lowes that sells central vacs and shop vacs. It is not usually in the pvc pipe area.

Best regards,

Almost forgot. If you take a gallon windshield washer jug and cut a smile in it with you knife you can insert the small peroxide cans in the smile and have a light weight hillbilly plug bag. Go ahead and try it .
It takes guts to be seen with it during the day.. Ha,ha

I used the schedule 30 for plug storage boxes. Probably too big for a bag but the 3" is nice for inside a box.
