Frabill’s Number One Selling Bait Container Adopts Supersized Brother
OutdoorHub 04.23.14
We live in an era of supersizing – ala a precedent many blame on fast-food chains. But take away the surplus saturated fat and artery-clogging bad cholesterol, and some upsizing is actually positive.
Oversized soft plastics, for example, are eliciting strikes from giant bass throughout North America. Extra long fishing rods improve the cast while sweetening the hookset. And now, continuing on this principle, Frabill presents a meatier rendition of the most popular bait container in history.
Fresh out of the mold, the new Frabill Magnum Flow-Troll looks and performs like a beefier version of the iconic yellow and white Flow-Troll. The larger Magnum swallows a massive 10 quarts of water and a bonanza of bait. As well, like the 6-quart original, the Magnum features a self-closing lid with locking door.
Now the Flow-Troll isn’t the number one selling bait container of all time by stroke of luck. That status has been earned through millions of successful fishing trips. It begins with an industry’s first hydrodynamic shape. Pulled behind a boat, in current, or simply bucking in the waves, the Flow-Troll is engineered anatomically to sit partially submerged while water and oxygen interchange to keep bait perky, as well as accessible.
Plunk a Flow-Troll in the drink and watch it magically rotate, self-adjust, and turn upright with the vented door facing the sky and backside aeration holes slurping oxygenated water from below. Others have copied the design, too, but none operate as flawlessly as the Flow-Troll. And to the angler’s advantage, Flow-Trolls are an economical investment. More often than not, your first fill of bait will rival or exceed the cost of the actual bait container.
The Flow-Troll legacy is also predicated on durability. It’s believed that only Galapagos tortoises, lake sturgeon and ocean quahog outlive a Flow-Troll. (Really, quahog? 400 years? Thanks Google.) The Flow-Troll’s rugged wall design protects against the usual contact with rocks, docks, and jocks – that is being kicked. Same goes for the new Magnum Flow-Troll.
Although we don’t encourage punting your bait bucket, if you do whiff on a fish, the Magnum Flow-Troll vents both minnows and frustrations.
