Assembly Instructions
LIVELY 40R Bait Pen
Being a professional charter captain and a commercial fisherman, having a secure place to store live bait is crucial in my line of work.
I used the LIVELY bait pen all last year to keep a stockpile of fresh bunker and bluefish for Bluefin Tuna. I can honestly say, I had bait fish in my LIVELY pen for over a month, and they looked as live as the day they were caught. If you are a serious fisherman who uses live bait on a day-to-day basis, THIS IS the bait pen you will want. You will not be disappointed, your bait will be "Lively" and when the other boats do not have bait, You will!!!
PROS -
1. PLENTY OF WATER FLOW
2. LIVEWELL OPENS ON EITHER SIDE
3. CAN BREAK IT DOWN FOR THE WINTER
4. LIFTING POINTS ARE SECURE TO HOIST THE PEN OUT OF THE WATER
5. STAINLESS HARWARE
6. EASY TO PRESSURE WASH AT THE END OF THE SEASON
7. Can be used to store wild children too !!! :)
I actually used bottom paint on mine, this helped keep growth off the outside of the pen.
