Sorting Baitfish

[jfeist]

I am trying to find plans to build a grader box for sorting fathead minnows or a place that sells them. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Jim

Make a wooden box that will float in a tub or whatever you are going to use to sort into. Get some old TV antennas and cut them to length so that they can be put across the bottom of the box. Pinch the ends together and drill a hole the same size as the nail or screw you will use to attach them with. Decide what spacing you want and make two spacers for each size you want to sort to. Put the spacers against the wood frame on one end and the fasten the first antenna rod to the frame, then put the spacers next to the rod and fasten the second rod. Continue until you are finished.

Here is a .pdf article that gives you spacing for size of bait you want.

Hope this helps you out.
