At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

You know my few why pay for a bucket that has a name on it.
Use a old mayo bucket they free from any restaurant .

Iam sure shakespeare bucket good ( have not seen one ) but why waste money you could save or spend on something that may help you catch fish.

I have a mayo bucket and put a few freezer blocks in it and bait always well kept.

And best of all if bucket brakes it was free and so is your next one.

my local chippy sells of their mayo buckets for a pound and the money goes to charity so it works both ways.

Imax do a cracking wee bait bag for £8.

3 separate compartments in it so it can carry 1lb rag, ice blocks, mack, sandeels, squid and other bits and bobs.

You can throw it over your shoulder so great for roving sessions....

I use 3 buckets each fitting into the other.
One large with timber stops screwed to the inside. One standard paint bucket again with stops fitted and the last one is the base of a standard paint with a handle fitted
