bait tank?
I am thinking about getting a new bait tank, the one I have takes up to much space on my boat. To keep shad alive, which do you guys think is the best. To circulate water from the lake or just recirculate or aerate the same water? Thanks,

Chatterbait
It appears I have fallen victim to good advertising. I purchased some Chatterbaits, $6 each, and having used them have not caught a single fish. The only advantage to these over spinnerbaits seems to be they can be fished shallow with a much slower retrieve. Have...
