Frabill Magnum Bait System - 13 Qt.

I received one of these for Christmas. The tank is great but the pump is terrible. After using it several times the pump quit working. I called Frabill about problem and was told that they were out of stock on pumps. They said that they couldn't take an order for a replacement pump and I'd have to keep calling until they get them back in stock and they'd send me one. After multiple calls and waiting for two months they finally sent a replacement pump. I used that pump twice and it's also quit working. I called again this morning and got same story. Rep said no pumps in stock and we can't take your name to ship one to you when they come in so keep calling back until we have some and we'll ship one if you call before we run out again. Therefore, I have to keep remembering to call back. Frabill won't refund the purchase price unless it's bought from them and I don't have a receipt since it was a gift. Their customer service on this product is a joke.

Most battery operated pumps don't last long. Buy a better quality 12 volt pump and hook to boat battery. This solved my problem many years ago. Have 2 in the boat. One pump runs 2 minnow engle bait boxes and the other is hoked up to my livewells. No more buying high dollar batteries.

Get you one of these and don’t look back. Them pumps they sell are junk. Couple years ago went through 5 in 2 months.

Yes, I have used these for years in both fresh and saltwater and never had one fail except when contact get corroded from salt or batteries are dead. Emory cloth helps contacts. Be careful not to drop one into a filled bait bucket- ask me how I know! After several years, the little rubber diaphragms will dry rot if not used a lot.
