Which brand bait tray

[dandaman]

I need to replace my bait trays which are currently the baitersbox brand in a 72 QT igloo
I am happy with the system and can fit about 48 rigged ballyhoo in it but it does take up alot of space when fishing from a smaller boat
Anyone use other brands that work well tell me about em what you like about it? dislike?
Thanks in advance

I am using the Max Bait Tray system. It is a powdercoated alluminum and they offer many different sizes, I use the one for a 54qt cooler. The neat thing is that they interlock and are stackable, so that if you want rigged baits on one tray and non rigged on the other it works great. Check out maxbait.com Just my .02

I get mine at restaurant supply stores. You can get these Stainless Steamer trays new or used at great prices. I think I pd $20 each for the small Stainless trays and $28 for the large trays. I like the small trays better two fit great in a 48qt cooler. They will hold 36 mediums each stacked and ready to go....Mark

Don't waste money on a bait tray. Just go to your local sheet metal/duct guy & get him to fab one out of stainless sheet. It will be <$20 & made to the exact size you want.

I SECOND THE RESTAURANT SUPPLY STORE, 12" X 24" I BELIEVE ABOUT $22 BUCKS

I'll third the restaurant supply type - I've been sing one for about 10 years - still going strong

Thanks for the ideas after i posted the topic i did a search and found even more info on some diff methods of homemade bait trays and i think its the way im gonna go
I think igloo makes a 36QT boat cooler gonna get the specs on it and see what i can come up with but it may be to small cause i like to have at least 60 baits rigged on seawitchs and islanders when the dolphin bite kicks in that might be to much to ask in a 36qt but the extra space would be nice in some of the smaller boats i fish on
any good online supply links for the steamer trays would help

WHILE I DO PRE FAB SOME TRAYS MYSELF TO FIT CERTAIN COOLERS FOR CERTAIN SITUATIONS


I TOO HAVE VISITED THE REST' SUPPLY HOUSE AND THE FLEA MARKETS AS WELL.....HELL IN EMERGENCIES I HAVE USED ALUMINUM BAKING TRAYS....I WAD EM UP AND THROW EM AWAY WHEN I GET DONE THAT DAY!


SEEMS THAT SOME BAIT TRAYS ON TODAY'S MARKET HAD NO FORETHOUGHT PUT INTO THEM WHEN THEY ARE DESIGNED SO THEREFORE I BUILD MY OWN
