***Unfortunately due to poor mold quality at the Moeller (Dometic) facility, our bait tank is unavailable for the foreseeable future. We are sorry for the inconvenience.*** Well, that sucks.

Appreciate the fact that you showed full aspect of the bait tank especially coming from own money. Definitely a product I be buying in future.

Worth every penny. I fish the striper run yearly on the Hudson river and this is by far the best system that I've used to keep my herring alive. Excellent filtration. Even when filling up when the river is muddy it comes out clear as can be.

Very nice little tank. Looks like it'll fit perfectly in my little Tracker Topper 1542. I've seen them online but never a video featuring them so I appreciate the video. And just in case this helps somebody, powdered coffee creamer works for foam too. What I do is get the little packs from gas station coffee stations and keep them in my tackle box.

Great video. The builder of that tank probably knows more about bait tanks and keeping shad alive than anyone on the world. Rest assured that you bought the best tank available in that price range.

I was almost finished with my little boat an decided to add the same type bait tank an a bimini top an rod rack on the back. Thanks for the video

Now you got me wanting a bait tank 😜

Massive video brother! The 'small' tank on my shad boat is 100 gallon, but I use one of these Striper Soup tanks on my little puddlejumper and it's a badass little tank. Accept NO substitutes or bad copies!

I like the design not so much on the price. I would guess there are lots of fishermen with cheaper ways. Love your show, stay safe and keep the kids learning

Now I want one too. Sounds like it does an outstanding job!

Great video straightforward honest and informative glad you are putting out more than just casting a line and waiting. Don’t get me wrong I like seeing you guys reel in the big ones too!

Sweet tank. Chris Souders has just came out with a special blend of foam off. Its good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Want one and don’t have a boat (yet) . Thanks for the video.

Great video! I also learned something! Never knew about the ammonia deal with shad. Happy Fishing!

Insight from a fish hobbyist. Not sure how long you have had the tank if only a week or two go buy some fritz quick start from a pet store. It will get the beneficial bacteria in the filters. Try to always keep fish in the tank. If you don’t have fish throw some smaller pieces of food of sort to keep the cycle going. Lastly take 50 percent of the water out about every week and replace with fresh. You will keep shad for alive a lot longer! I see so many people after a trip shut the tank down which kills all the bacteria.

Thanks for good un-biases review.Hagen

@5:46 dang that motor is pissing some water! wow!!😮

Nice review...I built a homemade version(uploaded a video on it recently) with the Danco aerator and bilge.Got idea here on KZfaq.One issue I found was heat generated by pump made the water get too warm.Minnows and shiners more apt to die from the warm water.I also adapted mine to run with a 110/12 volt inverter so I would not have to run it off my Marine battery.You may want to look into that.Pump was overkill for the small barrel I used.

Im thinking someone could go buy themselves one of those ice chests with 2 half lids, get a dannco venturi, get yourself a bilge pump, some pvc and little ingenuity cut you a hole through one of the lids and build something like seen here. And it would be insulated. Walmart has an 18 gallon with the dual lids for 58 bucks, the venturi for 30 buck, your choice of bilge pumps from 20-60 bucks id guess then getting some pvc which im not sure of the price but what you'd need to build that would be pretty cheap but im pretty sure you could do one up for under half the cost of the one in the video. The one in the video is pretty nice though, I hadn't ever priced them so I when he said quality vs budget I still wasn't expecting the price. Great video Hagen

Awesome video 📹

Really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos, I will be getting a tank just based on your video and I will be sure to let the folks know you sent me. Thanks again

Really liking your videos . My names Josh I'm originally from Owen County and know the ky river pretty good .

Good video as always. Thanks for the knowledge and information.

Great review. Great bait tank.

Good video Hagen.

Guys and gals. Get a cheap cooler, add an aerator, use lake or creak water, and change half of it every two days. You don’t need a filter. Make sure you have a large capacity cooler or bucket. If it is hot; put a frozen water bottle in the water. Feed the fish with aquarium food. Cheap and easy way to keep bait fish for weeks. Just be sure you have a container that holds plenty of water for your bait. At least 5 gallons per dozen if not more. Aerators help but toxins build up.

now thats nice ive got tanks but i may buy one of theses and try it out

very nice we just have trouble locateing any shad down here on the green river anymore used to be everywhere now hard to find idk.

Going to try and get on some this weekend the bayou state

Way cool man thanks I’m going to look into one

Thank for the info on the tank was wondering we fish up around Vevay IN and Madison on the Ohio river was wondering where abouts you fish on the Ohio my son and I do ok in these areas but nothing but where still on that hunt.

It`s a nice looking tank but a little pricey for me . Here in Florida the most I fish with beside artificial is Minnows so it`s not beneficial to me . Liked the video .

Very informative thanks for sharing God Bless

Why don't you use constant flow with overflow back into the river?? I took a bilge pump and mounted it to the back of the boat hooked hoses to inside of the tank and pump. Then just run a bigger hose at the level you want it to fill!!! No filters and control temperature!!!

A buddy of mines building one looks similar, hopefully it does as well

Throw some bags of ammonia reducer filter media in filter bags inside that filter

Did you figure a way to keep water from sloshing out?

I have a rod holder setup similar to yours and was wondering how you installed the bait board ? To pop on and off the rack . And what did you use . Thanks!

Do you add ice right in the tank?

Hey can you make a video going over your favorite rod and reels

Great video man! I have the same bait tank but just the standard issue. Since I already have most of the parts laying around I think I'll soup up mine. Looks relatively easy to build. All I need too know is what size standpipe they used?

Thats badass right there , can I use that as a makeshift live well for an aluminum jon boat ? so I can try to fish a bass tournament

You can drop some ice packs to keep it cool

I plan to use mine in sea water for mackerel even menhaden. is there a way to eliminate the top water scum?

Does it filter just by water volume in the tank

How much was it and where to get it. I can't see it in the comments thanks

I just looked into these and it seems they have stopped production of these tanks due to poor mold quality

Hagen, I am building a bait tank from a blank Moeller tank I found at a reasonable price. I have a couple of questions if you have time to discuss. Thanks.

I seen the drain hole at the bottom but wouldnt it be hard to lift the tank after it's full to empty.

That's a damn good tank man, do you find that the Flatheads still want live or cut shad right now, Compared to bluegill?

Now that you have used your bait tank a while are you still happy with it ?

How Far Is The False Bottom From The Bottom Of The Tank?

Did u catch any thing

Can you put the link in to buy this

Can you tell me the dimensions of the tank?

Will it keep moon eye alive

Man ole kayak catfish is rippen lips on cut bait (flathead) u better get out in the water. Haven seen the box that upload your bait(fish) and close the lid and just cut bait? They’re all the same size. It was cool looking it has a box about a foot and half long with 6 notch’s and fill with shad and close lid and just cut in the slots

Where you live at in ky

390 that ain't very affordable😎👍

Pretty cool video but when u gonna go back to fishing

What's the link for this tank?

Over Priced Piece of hunk......... you can buy that tank for $129 and a DIY filter for $75 instead of paying $10000 dollars for an overpriced junk.

$450 is not cheap...

Excellent video as always!! Thank you!! Does anyone have a contact number for Stiper Soup? The number in the video is disconnected or out of service.. (And I do not have Facebook).. Help would be appreciated, thanks all!!

$499.99 wtf?

450$

At $400...calling that thing "affordable" is a stretch lol

thats not cost effective, bought my tank from cabelas less than 200 spent another 50 and basically ended up the same.

WoW a bargain at only $400. 🙄
