With ease, I had about 70 5" shad and 40 smaller 3" baits in it all day yesterday. There is a misconception about them not holding bait i guess lol. As long as your salt content is right and the right amount of no foam you'll never have a problem. I use mine rough 4-5 times a week so i know it isn't a coincidence

I used two big handfuls of non iodized salt, the shad keep alive from academy and lake water and my shad stayed alive and kicking all morning. I bought the 10 gallon one due to the size of my boat and had about 50 or so 3"-4" shad in it. But, we were going through them pretty quick

Literally exactly what he said! Two handfuls of rock salt and two squirts of no foam!

Awesome! I have a 1648 CC so my room is limited. I'll give it a shot.

The Defoamer you get at Wal-Mart in the Pool section works as well as No Foam and is a lot less. I also get the stress stuff in the fish section.
