Abstract: A bait container has a housing, a top and bottom which at least partially surround the bait. A nozzle having a funnel portion and a bait-dispensing exit end extends from the top. A flow-inducement chamber permits a flow stream to be created which carries the bait into the bait-restraining exit end of the nozzle when the container is tipped. The fluid will drain through primary flow passages into the flow-inducement chamber and out of the chamber back into the housing through a secondary flow passage. A strap on the bait container permits the container to be suspended from a shoulder or waist of the fisherman. A stopper keeps the bait in the bait-dispensing portion until the fisherman is ready to dispense the bait into her/his hand. An insert for the exit end of the nozzle can permit different size bait to be dispensed one at a time.
