Magnum Bait Station 13 Quart Live Bait Well, White and Yellow

The Frabill minnow bucket is an outstanding piece of gear. Frabill has built a strong reputation in the fishing world, and this minnow bucket lives up to that name. The 13 quart capacity is perfect for keeping a healthy supply of minnows lively throughout a full day on the water. The aeration system runs quietly and efficiently, and I’ve noticed a real difference in how long my bait stays alive and active compared to standard buckets. The insulated liner helps maintain water temperature, which is a huge advantage during hot summer trips. It also has extra sturdy construction and secure lid that prevents spills during transport. Overall, this is a dependable, well designed bait keeper that I’d confidently recommend to any serious angler.

Wanted the ability to fish live bait out of my Hobie Pro Angler kayak. Popped 4 D batts in the bubblers and it worked flawlessly (Granted - it's just got to hold water and bubble, right?). Not sure why D batts and cigarette lighter adapters are the ONLY power options. Why we can't hook the bubblers directly up to a battery source is beyond me, it's 2024 right? Lots of options. Anyway - picked up 15 alewives at the bait shop, drove the hour to the lake and hooked up on 30% of the bait, 3 spots and 2 stripers. GREAT DAY! Portability is also a great feature. Kept the Magnum Bait Station behind the seat in the truck for the ride to the lake and simply moved it to the back of the yak at the ramp. Handles are heavy duty and well designed. Great product but IMHO Frabill needs to redesign power options since the current options are from the 1970s.

Such an upgrade from a bucket with a bubbler. Helps to combat the fl sun and keep the baits from dying of heat exhaustion. Pretty sure I got mine at a huge discount, but I'd still be happy at full price.

I use it almost fairly during the summer for live bait and have had minimal bait loss. Keeps water cool even in hot sun, no water loss, serves the purpose well. Pricey but worth it! Handles make for easy transportation.

We've had this bait station for 1 year. The aerator stopped working. We tried batteries, the plug, and still no worky. We love the concept but hate having to buy another aerator so soon, especially since I'm not sure the replacement will fit into the lid like the original. Bummer...

Best bait station ever. My son and I will use the cast net early in the morning to capture bait. This bucket is amazing. We live in South Carolina and saltwater fish a minimum of three times a week. This bucket does not heat up. It maintains its temperature and our bait remains alive all day without water changes. We even put the bait pale through another test. We took a trip to Cincinnati, and my son picked out two saltwater fish at a local pet store that were about 6 inches in length. Both fish remained in the bucket for 7 days before we decided to make the 10 hour drive home to Charleston, SC. The bucket did exactly as promised, and exceeded our expectations. Both fish made the journey and are now living in a 125 gallon aquarium in the kitchen. So this bait bucket is perfect for those of us that fish as well as for the person with an aquarium looking for a safe way to transport their newly acquired pet.

I've owned this bait station for a number of years. I've dropped so much money on this total crap. It does work, however the latches will break, no replacement available unless you look on ebay, there they cost 40 bucks, oh and they'll break again. I've been through 4 pumps, yes 4 pumps. They dont last nor are they waterproof at all. To be fair when the pumps were 29 bucks it wasnt bad and if I got 6 or 7 months out of them thats OK, but now the replacement pumps are 41 bucks...are you freaky kidding me????? If you're reading this run far and fadt away from this product, you will be VERY disappointed. Oh and got ahead and call the company so what that do for ya, nothing been there done that. The company will NOT stand behind their products at all. Wish you luck if you have one abd tight lines.

I bought the 13 at anything much bigger would get in my way on my boat. I was apprehensive at first because I'm old school and use to the two piece minner bucket. But after ready some reviews I said what the hell, plus it was just $30 more than the metal one. When I opened the box I was like wow😳 this nice and you bet it is!! Very well built and solid and not hollow you know it's insulated by the weight and knocking on the sides and listen not hollow sounding. Hinges, latches, tubing very well built. I believe to be greatest about this besides the construction is the variable power sources, 2 D batteries which you can use 1 or both, I'm assuming because of the amount of minners you have or to save battery life, the other power source is a cigar lighter adapter and it overrides the batteries to save them and the other source is a 120V to 3V adapter which it didn't come with, I bought a variable voltage adapter, keep it at 3V and no more or you'll burn the pump up. For the price I think it very reasonable, but hey Frabill you could have thrown in a 120V - 3V converter. Over all I'm very satisfied and highly recommend.

Batteries seem to last long time. Keeps minnows alive and runs for at least 100 hours with the same 2 D batteries.

Bait box is great, worked really well. Unfortunately the aerator switch was damaged when I opened the box. They would not send me a replacement and only wanted me to send it back. They issued me a 15 percent refund only which is far under what they should be refunding. Find someone else to buy this from.

The cover hinge rust is now visible and can only work on Battery inside. 13 quartz is too small on any purpose type of fishing.

I recently picked up the Max Magnum 19-quart cooler with the Fibril aerator, and overall, I’m quite pleased with it. The cooler itself is robust, keeps bait fresh for hours, and is perfect for my fishing trips. However, there's a small yet significant issue with the aerator that is easily fixed. The problem lies with the air stone that comes with the cooler. After just a couple of weeks, even with regular cleaning of stone, I noticed the aerator motor started to bog down and eventually burned out. The culprit? The original air stone creates too much pressure, overwhelming the motor. Thankfully, this is an easy fix. By replacing the air stone with a higher quality one that offers better air flow and reduces pressure build-up in the pump, the aerator works flawlessly. The aerator would always fail after a few hours after a few weekends of 24hour use. I recommend choosing an air stone with finer texture and better porosity. Once I made this switch, the aerator ran smoothly for a 48 hour test, and I haven't had any issues since. In summary, the Max Magnum cooler is a great product, but the vendor should consider upgrading the air stone immediately to ensure long-term reliability of the aerator. Fabril is hurting their good brand.
