Best Bait bucket

#1 Post by JOHN LYNCH »

What's the best bait bucket you have seen for sale or the best home made attempt that you have seen?

That Bait bukit one that was out a few years ago with all the trays looked good and so does the green sensas one. I think that the Bait Bukit company no londer exists.There does seem to be a gap in the market.

A bucket with trays that could hold your crab, lug, madddies and frozen bait would be nice.

i have a couple of dulux ones that came free with the paint they held. fairly sturdy with a nice handle and an optional lid/chopping board. can be stacked together also which is handy for storage. a friend of mine uses a hellmans mayonnaise effort which has all the features of my trusty dulux one, but it comes in a dashing yellow and navy colour combination which really is the envy of the local beach scene

A square or rectangular bait bucket makes since as most containers people keep their lug, maddies or rag are this shape aswell. Rectangular containers don't fit into round buckets very well.

I haven't seen many big rectangular buckets especially ones with covers.

Here is a bait bucket design that Donal Domeney posted earlier this year.
I think the way it works is that the buckets fit into one another starting from the large bucket on the right hand side. Not many buckets like that one this time of the year.
