Bait tanks store and transport live fish bait and keep them alive. They are designed to provide a constant flow of water for oxygenation. To be effective, live fish bait should be as fresh as possible, as certain fish are more attracted to their lifelike texture, color, and odor. Storing them in bait tanks can keep them alive, disease-free, and healthy.
Types Of Bait Tanks
Kinds of Bait Tanks include the following:
Over-flow system bait tanks
Over-flow system tanks are filled with water at the bottom for overflowing on top to provide constant water flow. However, they have the tendency to push loose scales and residue in the path of the circling fish baits, which can ultimately clog their gills and suffocate them.
Reverse-flow system bait tanks
Reverse-flow system tanks are filled with water at the top to circulate clean water downward. They have self-flushing systems to reduce the accumulation of debris and residue.
Choosing Bait Tanks (Buying Tips)
Weight: Choose a lightweight bait tank that you can easily carry.
Pump: Look for a bait tank that can pump in fresh or salt water up to 360 gallons per hour. These tanks are more efficient.
