New Shimano Bristol Bay Bait Tanks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I put one of the timer switches on mine and I am 50/50 on how I feel about it. I get better battery life and can carry a much smaller battery. The down side is that I can't seem to carry as much bait and have it live.
So for most people that don't need to stuff their bait tank like me, I would say go for it. IF you do really like to carry a lot of bait you might think twice. Now if they will make a switch that is say 1-1 meaning on 50% of the time off 50% I think it would work better. Right now I think it is on for 7 off for 14.
Just for reference I used to put two dozen some times more bait in my tank and not one would die. That is not the case with the timer switch.
