In Reply to: New Bait Tank, Now What??? posted by tprice on December 30, 2003 at 21:01:26:
The only bait tank I have ever owned is a Super Bait Tank II and it has performed great for me. You will really enjoy it.
One suggestion that I have is to try the preformed foam pads for filter medium versus the loose Poly-Fil. Either can be found for pennies in the Wal-Mart sewing department (it's used typically to fill cushions and pillows). Measure your filter box (I think mine measured something like 3 inches by 8 inches), cut several pieces that size then cut a hole in the middle to accept the standpipe.
These are reusable and much easier to handle than the loose Poly-Fil. Try it.
Also, always keep a Rule bilge pump like the one in your tank on hand as a spare. All bilge pumps eventually wear out and you will appreciate having one on hand when you have $40.00 of bait in your tank and the original one smokes. You can just snap the bottom off the one you have and snap it right on the replacement.
Good Luck, Good Fishing and Happy New Year to All,
