    I use the champain style styrofoam bucket...it has a wire structure around the outside to help give it rigidity...

    I changed to lid to wood with a strap hinge so I wouldn't lose it going down the highway...

    I like the ole school metal buckets with inserts. I can continually change water to keep them fresh or hang the insert over the side. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". My old school ways just seem to keep rearin their ugly heads.

    Matter of fact, one bucket I use was given to me by my granddad when I was 12, and it was old then. I'm 62. Bout got it broke in.lol

    frabill mino-life bucket. Not the larger box design with the built in net. This is a 8 quart bucket with a foam liner. Best i have ever owned, great in hot or cold weather. If you pack alot of bait on the trip(8 dozen plus) i think they make a 12 quart version as well.
