parrothead127 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've got a 26,000 gallon test tank that works pretty good. Only thing is my wife gets kinda mad when I'm testing crankbaits and she's trying to swim. She gets pretty mad when I snag her bikini top:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptown Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Jed, You can buy a 10' aluminum feed trough from most feed supply stores for about $150.00. They are around 3' wide and two feet deep. They are self contained, no need for a frame or anything, just fill it up and you are set. A friend of mine even has fish in his to see how they react to lures,he's also crazy, but it's still not a bad idea;) Joe Trueglide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Joe, do you have a test tank that you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptown Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Fatfingers, Yep, that's what I use. Works great in the winter months. The only problem is the weight. My shop is on the third floor of a warehouse. I do get a little nervous that one day I'll come in and there will be a hole in the floor Joe Trugelide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Rightly so Joe, that thing weighs more than 1.5 tons, full of water. But ware houses should be designed to take heavy loads. That is what they are for. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
