Frabill Magnum Bait Station® - 13 Quart
The Frabill Magnum Bait Station® in 13-quart capacity is a serious upgrade from a basic bucket—it's engineered to keep your live bait healthy and lively from the tackle shop to the water. Whether you're targeting panfish, walleye, or bass, this minnow bucket combines durable construction with active aeration to maintain the conditions your bait needs to survive and perform, even during long trips or hot days on the water.
Built with an injection-molded base for durability and commercial-grade foam insulation, the Magnum maintains stable water temperature and protects your bait from temperature swings that stress and kill live minnows. The integrated aerator keeps oxygen levels up, so your bait stays energetic and attracts more strikes. The 13-quart size strikes a practical balance—large enough to carry a solid supply of minnows for a full day of fishing without being so bulky that it's awkward to manage in a boat or from shore.
This is the kind of bait station that works as hard as you do. It's built for the angler who knows that dead or stressed bait costs fish, and who'd rather invest in the right gear upfront than waste time and money replacing bait mid-trip. Use it for live-well backup, a primary bait transport, or a stationary station at your favorite spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size minnow bucket do I need for a full day of fishing?
The 13-quart capacity of the Magnum Bait Station holds enough live minnows for most anglers on a day trip. It's a practical middle-ground size—substantial enough to carry your bait supply without being unnecessarily bulky or heavy.
How does the aerator keep my bait alive?
The integrated aerator pumps oxygen into the water, which is critical for live minnow survival, especially in warm weather or during long trips. Oxygenated water keeps bait active and healthy, so they perform better and last longer.
Will this bucket keep my bait cool on hot days?
Yes. The commercial-grade foam insulation helps maintain stable water temperature by insulating against ambient heat and cold, protecting your bait from temperature swings that stress and kill minnows.
Is the Magnum Bait Station durable enough for regular use?
The injection-molded base and rugged construction are built to withstand regular fishing use and the rigors of transport, making it a reliable long-term investment for serious bait anglers.
