nice ling-tree, they have a bait tank, that goes right in the back hatch behind you, just do that, don't waste your time and money imho

JNAST13ST · 05-17-2012, 08:56 PM

do you think its better just buying one?, and where from if i do?

mtnbykr2 · 05-17-2012, 09:02 PM

they are a little far and in between used, Andy probably has one

JNAST13ST · 05-17-2012, 09:04 PM

mtnbykr2 · 05-17-2012, 09:06 PM

No, Andy at OEX, but try ebay and craigslist

JNAST13ST · 05-17-2012, 09:07 PM

ok oex how much do you think it would run?

mtnbykr2 · 05-17-2012, 09:14 PM

I don't remember how much they ran, I had an XFactor for about 3 years,
I think "Thresher Tank" makes one that fits, but I'm not sure, all I know is that you will spend more time and $ than it's worth

I use a bait tube. Cheap and easy to make. Bait stay alive all day.

mtnbykr2 · 05-17-2012, 09:18 PM

that's the best way for little or no cash layout, and works well

JNAST13ST · 05-17-2012, 09:19 PM

ok ill check it out

If you look there are some posts on how to build a tank out of a 5 gallon bucket or a dog food container if i remember all the parts is around $100 give or take...

JNAST13ST · 05-17-2012, 09:35 PM

ok koo ill have like $150 to spend on one

Cvaladez2 · 05-17-2012, 09:38 PM

2 ft of 3 or 4 inch black PVC pipe. One end cap. One twist of cap and some motivational 550 cord. Glue caps on. Drill holes all around it and tie 550 cord to it as a leash.

JNAST13ST · 05-17-2012, 09:43 PM

I have the tank without the plumbing or pump that I could sell you......50.00 and it is yours

I'm going to be out of town until the 24th.

William Novotny · 05-18-2012, 08:20 AM

I'm very happy with the tack I made for my xfactor, search my threads for the build.
