Ok, I saw this on Kayak Fishing Magazine. Where can I get one of these, and just as importantly how much are they? I did a quick web search and found nothing. Any help?

I must say I'm pretty happy with mine. It has a lower CG than a bait bucket, so that makes the yak feel less tippy. I thought the zippers were going to be a pain, but once it was all strapped down tightly to my kayak, they were much easier to move and there's a velcroed hatch that makes it unnecessary to unzip anything for normal use.

Patrick, does it come with a timer or does it run constantly?

$219 sounds a little steep, does that come with the bilge pump, too?? And yeah, I'd like to know if it comes with a timer switch too?

219 is the tank with plumbing and electrical kit, including the pump. It does not include a timer however we do have Waterproof timers available here at AYS.

I'm interested in knowing how AYS is coming on their "portable" model of the kayatank.
I was holding out for it, but still haven't heard anything about it.

The pump/elec kit from Shimano is not the greatest OEX and Anglers Yak Shack will put together a kit and a timer as an upgrade option. CJ is working on that from AYS.
We waited to bring them in, wanted some feed back on their performance. After our test run looks like a good option.

Still think the KayaTank from Anglers Yak Shack is the best bait tank out there:)
