Bait Pump Comparison 2018 - Striper Soup - Rule, Shurflo, Seaflo

[@fissh29]

great job guys...real life situations show how a device will opperate...the height thing convinced me to go with Rule pumps...thanks

[@MrX-yg7rz]

how long does the battery AGM 12V run for a long time? What is the maximum current when the pump is running in water?

[@1974topwop]

Great comparison! Why not hook them up to a voltometer to see if they're using the same amount of power? It could explain the difference in performance.

[@rob56gru]

amp meter volt show tension only

[@brianmacker1288]

Thank you guys. Very helpful. Works great as a comparison between pumps. However not as a absolute test of gph at zero head. You only pumped out about 4 gallons. So for the new rule that is around 354 gal/min. Then the others are worse. Just divide the gpm in the table at the end by 4/5 to get a more accurate value.

[@stripersoup5546]

Great observation and very true. The test was definitely done by hillbilly standards. :D

[@brianmacker1288]

@@stripersoup5546 No problem. Plus 5 gallon buckets hold a bit more than 5 gallons. Next time use two buckets. One empty you have marked to exact 4 gallon level. Then time how long to fill to that line using pump to empty another bucket. More precise.

That new Rule 360 seems gtg...even with the redesigned output.

[@stevenmorris2293]

Old rile 360 looks good ? Thats mine. Is there a winner ?

[@brianmacker1288]

There is a table at the end. The new rule won.

[@tadjersey1932]

bait pump or bilge pump?

[@stevenmorris2293]

Bait. Essentially same thing

[@Roddders3000]

@@stevenmorris2293 BS, they're not the same, the water pickup is totally different for a start.

[@outfittersoutdoors]

great info well done

[@FishinAddicts_USA]

You guys using different batterys. Not a good test..

[@seeinstripes]

If you look it's the same one, just turned around.

[@FishinAddicts_USA]

You are right. Im so sorry I over looked that. 2 Thumbs up....

[@John-gm8ty]

I have tested one of these pumps for the last month, 8 hours a day on a solar panel, it leaked in less than a month. the seals for the power cables and the seal for the impeller drive shaft are woefully inadequate for salt conditions. not worth buying. look for a brushless option with no direct drive.

[@coltonware5627]

You posted this same exact comment on a completely different video on completely different pumps ya fucking twat.

[@SoCalSeaChaser]

@ Colton: “twat” 😂 I haven’t heard that word since 92, that is awesome and f’ing hilarious!

[@brianmacker1288]

@@coltonware5627 Which pump you skank? 🤣

[@bennettsbin9374]

Hey great test and I'm sure everything is legit, but with the video editing breaks there can be a lot of speculation as to altering the results. But I'm sure the video would've been a lot longer as well.

[@seeinstripes]

Why would they alter the results? There is no brand affiliation here. Just take it for what it's worth or do your own tests at home..

[@brianmacker1288]

"Oh, please. Bless your heart."

[@VANDWELLINGPRO]

Totally unfair test unless you recharge the battery in between.

[@seeinstripes]

Recharge a 120 Ah battery between short runs of a very low draw motor? This is field testing, not highly controlled lab-style experimentation. Take it for what it's worth.

[@seeinstripes]

How do you know it wasn't recharged?

What you see here is the reason I would not install a venture of any kind in my bait tank ,, reduced water flow is just fine for small herring but for big gizzard shad it is terrible, the faster a tank will filter water the better for gizzard shad. Also I like to use all kinds of fish for bait , in May I have more bream in my tank than anything, in April I have more alewives and threadfin than anything else , the rest of the year it’s all of the above but mostly gizzard shad ,, so I choose to keep my tank most suitable for gizzard shad. Ohh and I have been a guide for over twenty years,,, also a tsunami by Atwood is the longest lasting pump in a tank once you add the proper amount of salt ,,the 500 size is perfect for most tanks. I have found that some pumps last and preform well without any salt in the water like rule , but once you add the prescribed amount of salt to that water ,,, one ounce per gallon, they just don’t last very long.
