Just found your channel. Great content. Recently purchased a Hobie PA 14 IKE Edition for bass fishing. After watching your videos thinking of doing some salt water fishing. What would be the best month to book a charter with you.
Hey man. Anytime is good but my favorite time is probably in the fall months like September or October. Weather is usually great and fishing is good. Thanks for watching. Hopefully we meet up sometime.
I have it, had to replace the aerator twice before I got a different one. The plastic on the strap broke early for me. My clips are still there but the lid won’t shut. So the clips are barely holding it and if I bump it the thing opens up wide.
My third aerator just crapped out on my Frabill 19. The first two the motor would cut out and the most recent on, the switch failed. No luck dealing with Frabill. I think I’m just going to Velcro a cheap aerator into the recessed area. Maybe you can find generic latches and Frankenstein your bait station. I’m done with Frabill products!
Same here I own 3 of them and 1 engel and I have to get new aerators about ever month. They either allow water in because of shitty seal design or they crap out and I fish in salt water so that ruins them as soon as they get wet.I'm going to get the flopbox 20 its pricey, but hell 10 areators in is the same price.
We had opposite experiences. I’ve had my frabill magnum 13 for a year with no issues. In fact, it’s so quiet I sometimes forget it’s on. That’s how I accidentally kept shrimp in it for 4 days.
@@Saltyakcharters I literally almost wrote earlier that it must’ve been a Friday build. Lol. I’d almost done a review of my frabill… then you get a lemon.
Dang! That sucks. I have actually now just resorted to a 5 gallon bucket, with a good lid on it, and a good aerator. I have decided less is more. Lol Thank you for watching.
Well, I bought my frabill 13 before I saw any videos. Fortunately, I can prove when I got it from Amazon, and I'm keeping Frabill's 1 year printed warranty close by.
Oh, I’m sure you will be good man. I’m sure you will have better luck with it than I did. I’m thinking mine was maybe built on a Friday afternoon. Lol. I’ve actually heard from a couple of people who have been very pleased with theirs. I’m sure you will be too
I bought the smaller one don't care for it always leaks went to Walmart bought a one gallon Coleman jug I feed the air hose down the spout better than any bait bucket I ever owned
This is a classic example of you get what you pay for, as the old saying goes. Buy quality if you want something to last. If you don’t care about it lasting then go cheap
Thank you for that input. I was leaning towards it but, now I’m going with the Engel 13 with the metal patches and rechargeable aerator.pump.
I think that is a great choice. Let me know later how it works for you. And thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review…. I was in the fence on this one for my kayak…. Now I know better.
You are welcome. I am happy it helped you. FYI, now I really like the Engel. It has stainless latches rather than the plastic
I have the smaller version and had it for 5 months now , no issues . 🙏🏾🙏🏾
That is good. Thanks for watching
I have the engel 30 quart and the 13 quart. Did upgrade the aerators to lithium ion rechargeable on both. LOVE THEM !!
That is awesome! Thanks for watching. Tight lines!
I've had the same issue with similar items. Bass pro has 60 day return policy. I ended up going with engel and love it.
I also have an Engel now, but typically just use a Home Depot buck with a good aerator. lol. Thanks for watching!

Great review!
It's not the uv that broke the latches I live in New York and experienced the same issues after 1 week

Built my own out of an old cooler I put a divider in so I can keep shrimp and pinfsh together
Good man
What size is needed to hold pinfish?
I bought the smaller one don't care for it always leaks went to Walmart bought a one gallon Coleman jug I feed the air hose down the spout better than any bait bucket I ever owned
That is awesome! Thanks for watching.
Ufff thank you for the review. I was one click way of getting one
@@jccautodetails glad it helped. FYI, I got my wife the Engel and she loves it. It has all stainless hardware
@@jccautodetails tight lines!
My first choice is Magellan and second choice is Engel. They are the best bait coolers out there
Yes sir. Thank you for watching.
@@Saltyakcharters great video!
Had mine for 4 years and haven’t had a single problem fish freshwater daily!!!
That is awesome! Mine was probably built in a Friday. 😆 Tight lines!
Freshwater or saltwater? Just curious if that would make a difference.
@@Saltyakchartersfreshwater mostly holding shad I bet saltwater definitely don’t help it none then
@@noahshellman6868 yeah. Things basically have to nuclear bomb proof to survive the salt. 😆
I know this spot in Southeast florida. Tight Lines!
Actually southwest Florida. Thank you for watching! Tight Lines!
Nice video thanks for sharing.
Hey Tex!
This is a classic example of you get what you pay for, as the old saying goes. Buy quality if you want something to last. If you don’t care about it lasting then go cheap
I sure did not think $120 for a bait bucket was “going cheap”. 🤣
Engle is the ONLY WAY TO GO!
Same thing has happened to mine.
Dang. I was hoping I was the only one. thanks for watching. Tight lines!
Salt yaker calls frabill: hello, i Need to speak to someone about replacing the latches on my new bait cooler..
Frabill to salt yaker: SEE YAAAA!
Right???
And thanks dude!
Yup. my latches already broke months. Aerator seized up too. Shit product.
@@nathanreed6968 dang. Sorry to hear that. I hoped I was the only one. Tight lines!
Muh aerator shit the bed after less than 24 hours overall use on the low mode, noooo
Dang. That sucks
Dang. That sucks. Thanks for watching!
Engel Live Bait Cooler >>> Frabill Bait Station 🤣
I think you are probably right about that. Thanks for watching!
Hate my Engel, freezes and breaks in winter. Was hoping this one was better
I got one. Junk.
lol. yep. Thanks for watching! tight lines
