What do you guys think about this bait tank system? http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product2_11151_10001_37912_-1____ProductDisplayErrorView
I don't have much room and was thinking of going cheap and use a cooler setup. Looking to put a half scoop in it.

Try and get a circular bait tank--your bait will stay alive longer.

This looks way better than what I had planned to do. I watched a video on Youtube on how to build a live well out of a 5 gallon bucket and a bilge pump. But to many other little things to purchase, this looks like its ready to go. If you decide to purchase this don't forget to follow up with a product review. Thank you.

Although this set up looks good and cheap and ready to use , just remember bait fish are much healthier and fresher when they swim in circles with plenty of oxygenated water .
All good bait tanks not (livewells) are round in shape so the bait fish wont bump in the corners and die off .
Whatever you choose enjoy your day fishing and good luck.

I have this set up and have used to keep my panfish alive while fishing works good.But I would go with a circle tank and pumped water instead of recycled for bait.
