Vittles vaults at Costco

I was at the Costco in La Mesa and saw Vittles Vaults for $25. They were the 60lb size. Not sure if they have them at other locations but I think that's a lot cheaper than the pet stores.

That is an excellent price, and the container is larger than the average ones that are carried at Petco.



Here's the one I use to have. I just bought the one from Petco because I liked the smaller bait tank. I promise you this will hold a lot of bait comfortably, and also if you're a tournament fisher, or like to keep your catch, this will hold everything. $25? that's about $20 less than Petco and it's bigger.

Thoght about bait tank, but it would probably sink the yak, must hold 40 gallons

I drilled my drain holes about 3/4 of the way up the back so that it wouldn't be too full.

Yeah it looked pretty big, I wasn't sure if it was the size most people use but i figured someone might want to try it at that price.

Unless you have a PA and are fishing C&R Bass tournaments, the 60# tank is some real overkill. Remember that the water you fill it with is about 8#s per gallon. Great price though, wish I could find that on the 40# model.

Exactly why I went down in size. The Bait tank was part of the deal on the purchase of my last Kayak, and the weight was a pain when filled with water. I love the 40# model.

I just picked one up for my PA - I put the drain 3/4 way up to use it for the C&R tournaments, but I'll install a second drain 1/2 way down with a shutoff valve for less water (and weight) to toss macs in.
