Does anyone have any input on how well the Aqua Pro fish feeders perform. I've been looking at the Texas Hunter feeders but they are substantially higher than the Aqua Pro. How do you think it stands up with the Texas Hunter? Is it worth paying the additional money? Any input appreciated.

Is there any way to know if it will have the new timer before you buy it?

I am very pleased with AQP performance with the new timers.
I would question the value of spendng an extra $200 bucks for a TH if AQP has solved their timer problems.
AQP provided the best customer service I have ever received.

How can I differentiate between the old & new timers. What would I ask to know if it has the new timer? Memphis Net & Twine sells the AQP & I've gotten to know one of the salesmen there pretty well. What would I ask him to check about the timer to know difference between the new & old?

If the unit has a serial number, get it, then call BA Products and ask them. Or, as soon as you get it, call them and give them S/N of the timer it has.

If it is a new timer it will have "F2" on it. If it does not have a new timer just call us and we will replace it.

A rep from Memphis net and twine called Aquapro this morning. The rep from MN&T called me back and said all the new models will have the new timers on them. So that was good to know. I've almost got my wife talked in to letting me get one. Please don't tell her I've just said that.

I was told that one company, possibly BA products, bought the AP, Stren, and one other name but they are all made by the same folks. Is there any truth to this? If this is the case is is selling direct from the MFG'r at lower prices than the others.
Can someone confirm this?

BA Products is Aquapro, that is just one of our feeder lines. Stren was a license agreement with them that we chose not to continue a few years ago. We do not sell directly to the public. However you can buy our products from Greg Grimes, Nate Herman, Todd Overton or Native Outdoors.

clarification. Overton no longer sells the AP line. Only TH.

I need to share with my fellow fishing buds the fantastic service I received at BA Products (makers and distributors of Aqua Pro feeders). I took my older FatCat feeder in with a bad timer (control panel). They replaced the timer for me, worked on the motor and ended up adding a new one, all under warranty. The customer service was awesome and my feeder was fixed in about 4 days. Great folks to work with. George S.

I've had a fat cat throwing for about three weeks now, and it is impressive. Very impressive.
