X-Factor Rear Hatch Bait Tank - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

aclozer · 08-31-2008, 10:32 AM

I have this tank and for the most part like it. I use a bungie system to firm it down but like someone already said, the wieght of the water helps keep it firmly down.

What I dont like about it is:

1. If you roll your yak coming in, you will take on a lot of water. Not cool.
2. It was a pain on the islander trip I took a couple of months ago. When loading and unloading the kayak it seemed that there was never a good place to put it. Just my opinions.

I used this tank as both a bait tank and as a storage tank. I found that if you use metal turnbuckles ( try home depot, or marshalls hardware if your in San Diego) it creates a pretty dry seal. I actually really liked my x factor and this bait tank!
