Many Issues - Changes & Improvements,July 7, 2009
By MacMcfrom Richmond, TX
"I purchased the 30 gal. tank to use in saltwater. Upon receiving and inspecting the tank, there were some immediate issues. The top of the tank is pop-riveted and every one of the rivets was loose. I removed the rivets and replaced with s/s bolts. The velcro strap that attaches to both handles to secure the lid did not have velcro on one end so I used a small bungee cord. Because water splashed out of the tank around the top, I used silicone and weather stripping all the way around and then bolted the top down. The aerator did not attach to the top so I had to secure it with s/s bolts. The aerator comes with alligator clips so if you want to plug it in to a 12v receptacle you must change to that. I used a pigtail so I could power either way. The aerator is also too powerful for a small tank and really churns the water. The tank does not have handles on both ends to facilitate carrying it. The rubber drain plug is unique so do not lose it. You would think they would include a spare. The hardware package was missing parts. The inside and bottom of the tank is painted blue making it difficult to see the bait when there are only a few left. It was pretty frustrating having to do all of this. The tank appears to be constructed well but obviously not designed properly. I spent about two hours and $20 repairing and modifying the tank. I would have gladly paid an extra $20 to not have to make these repairs."

bait tank,June 15, 2009
By whitetailnailerfrom kansas
"This thing keeps them alive. I had 3 walley and 10 whites in the 25 gallon tank for most of the day and not a one of them died. I have used it to hold perch for limb lines as well and it works like a charm."

cheap,May 11, 2009
By jabellfrom Barnard, KS
"This baitwell was on sale so I bought it for keeping bait alive between the bait shop and the boat. It is not insulated, seems flimsy, and the motor is very noisy. Not a good product. Wish I had my money back."

Cabela"s Minnow Life Support Insulated BAit TAnk,October 8, 2008
By birddog4from Clinton S.C.
"This is a great product. Easy to put togather and ready to use. Keeps bait fresh for more than 2 days. Try some water soffener salt in your tank and see the difference it makes in keeping the bait fresh. I use two small handfulls for 14 gal tank. Bait remains much calmer and very little scale loss."

Cabela's Minnow Life Insulated Bait Tank-12V,April 30, 2008
By skamaniacfrom Danville, IN
"I am a striper guide and have just purchased the 20 gal model. I have used it during the last month with good success. I modified my tank slightly with a seal around the lid to prevent splash out during travel and I also put a timer on the motor to conserve batteries. Aerator does a great job aerating the water. I would recommend this tank to anyone that uses live bait. I could also be used for a live well if you didn't have one on your boat."

Must have,September 3, 2007
By Kiwi042from Atlanta
"This bait tank (20 gal) is great and the stainless steel agitator is awesome. It did leak a little bit but with some weather stripping and a little caulk the issue was easily fixed. I can't believe I waited this long to make the purchase. I would defiantly recommend this bait tank."

leaky lid,May 8, 2007
By woodywackerfrom wellington alabama
"I recently purchased the 14 gallon bait tank and it keeps bait alive better than most things i have tried. The problem with the tank is that i fish tailraces for striper which requires running through a lot of chop from other boats and the top of the tank is not water tight and leaks profusely around the edges when rough water is encountered."
