Maybe
your just starting out with live bait and not sure if you want
to spend the money on a tank just yet. Maybe you could use
a second tank but can’t justify it right now. Take a
look at the Creek Bank BaitSpa.
It might just be what you are looking for.The Bait Spa is a self-contained unit with a pump, filter,
and aerator. It was designed to be a multi
purpose unit. Small enough to use in a 5 gallon bucket and
efficient enough to use in a 55 gallon drum. Use it in just
about any container from a cooler to a live well. Use it
to keep bait, transfer bait, or keep your catch alive.
Unlike
most aerator units with a filter, the Bait Spa actually takes
debris out of the water and doesn't just filter
water for the pump. The filter compartment is based on our
patented tank filter design. The filter material is oriented vertically,
with a space between the filter material and the housing,
allowing the heavy debris to fall to the bottom, adding capacity
to the filter.
At almost 50 square
inches of filter surface area, it has as much, if not more,
filtering capacity as most other full size bait tanks.
The aerator is the same system
that we use in our bait tanks. A 360 GPH Rule pump pushes the water
through the aerator and millions of tiny bubbles are forced into
the water. Air stones and bubblers look good, but the bubbles
immediately float to the surface. The longer an air bubble
stays in the water, the more air is absorbed by the water. A wedge
molded into the housing in front of the aerator outlet, breaks
up the flow making it easier on your bait.
The Bait Spa was originally designed for short-term
bait keeping, up to 24 hours. But in testing with our
Pro-Staff, they
were able to keep bait for several days. Works in fresh and salt
water and for bait as well as your catch.
The cut away view
of the Bait Spa will give you an idea of how it works. Water is sucked
into the unit through the suction screens on the outside. The water
then enters the unit and the heavy debris will fall to the
bottom of the container, and the light debris will be trapped
in the filter sleeve. The pump then picks up the filtered
water and forces it through the aerator, which mixes millions
of tiny air bubbles with the water, and returns it into the
holding tank.
