Engel Bait cooler

[IceMan100]

Anybody using Engel Bait Coolers?   Was wondering how you like it?  How much bait in a 13 qt  Cooler?   Pro's and Con's ?

No but I just rigged my atv up for ice fishing and this was going to be my next purchase. I was hoping the 13qt could hold some shiners, smelt and suckers. If not at least smelt and shiners (5 dozen) and the suckers can stay in a small bucket.

Joe - If you are seeing this what size cooler do you have rigged up? I loved your set up and was hoping to make mine very similar with that custom box you had made.

I am also wondering how much bait the 13 can hold and if its better to go up in size for the extra water volume.

I use the Engle bait cooler.  It can hold much more bait than you can in those small
bait pails.  I  have had it for around 7 or 8 years.  It is the 13qt.  If I were to be
buying it again I would get one with the add on 12 volt battery pack.  Mine doesn't
have it, but it is a great bait cooler.  I use it during the off season in my Polaris
Ranger for cool drinks.  The are far more expensive than the normal bait cooler but
far tougher.

Love my 13qt. Only thing is the lid freezes down if left outside below zero F. Keep it in the shack and you’re good to go. Love the aerator. Plug it in to the truck between flags.

I bought the Engle for $50 last year from Austin Kayak with one of their monthly coupons. If you sign up for the newsletter, you'll get a 10% or 15% off coupon every month. I was in lucky enough that my credit card price protection gave it to me for $7 after it was posted on that price at that price on another site that cancelled all the orders. I was very happy with it at the $50 I paid and recommend it without reservation.

I still think the same thing. I recommend it without reservation.

Has anyone tried cooking oil around the lid?

I'll be trying some of that silicone dielectric grease on my seals this year. Start real thin and see where it takes me.
