Description

How could we improve upon a wildly popular industry-standard live bait cooler? First, we replaced the standard hang tray with an all-new pull net. This new feature makes fetching your bait and changing the water a breeze. Second, we moved the air tube port from the edge of the sidewall up into the lid. This should allow you to fill/use more of the box capacity, while also cutting down on the small overflow splashes that result from allowing the cooler to vent around the air tube. Our powerful Gen2 2-speed 2X2 Air Pump keeps the water fully aerated, while the insulated cooler shields expensive bait from the elements. Plug into your car or boat's cigarette lighter using a 12V adapter to run the pump overnight and keep bait fresh for the next morning.

    "Great product, can't wait to use it"

    Bart D. (5/5)

    Excellent Product. . !!

    "This cooler does exactly what it’s supposed to — it maintains live bait much longer than a bucket or regular icebox. Pinfish, shrimp, or other bait still active after a full day or more on the water."

    Mike Z. (5/5)

    Not happy

    "Used it 4 times , worked ok . Now all bait does in it after 5 hours"

    Tim D. (1/5)

    Kelly B. (1/5)

    Really nice!

    "Love this setup and the fact it came with two aerators is awesome! Would recommend"

    Donald C. (5/5)

    30qt bait container

    "Great bait container. One suggestion, however, with the weight of the 30qt, I would put handles on both sides instead of the top for easier carrying. Distributes weight to two arms, instead of one. Would really make a difference."

    Raymond I. (4/5)

    As a popular Tampa Bay

    "As a popular Tampa Bay fishing guide i rely on products from Engel for my livelihood. Engel provides guide tested products at a fair price. These bait coolers are necessary to keep bait lively and fresh. Keep up the excellent work on practical use products for the outdoor sports world."
