Icechest Livewell Question

**lonniewalling** · #1 01-15-2013, 09:41 PM

I'm wanting to make me a livewell tank for bait out of a cooler and was wondering what is the best brand kit or brand to get? I saw they have one at Academy made by Marine Metal Products or Bass Pro has two, one made by Catch Saver and the other by Mayfair. What do yall think??? Thanks

We have a Bayou Ed's rig for 48 qt Igloo. Runs off 12 volt. Only bad thing is the pump is in the water with the bait and adds some heat. Make sure to change the water or put a frozen saltwater ice bottle in from time to time during summer.

Can't go wrong with good ole oxygen tanks!

Oxygen, the only way to go. Call Brian at Baad Marine and ask him about his O2 systems.

I use the one from academy. Used a handful of times for the last two summers and it has done ok. Will keep the shrimp alive as long as the water stays cool. We just change out the water every couple of hours and they last all day.
