another reason that I am lookin on ebay, is I have some money setting in my paypal acct that I can use to purchase on ebay but not many vendors take paypal

I was looking at those too recently. I will be trying out my new minnow bucket this weekend. Went to local Academy Sports store ( I cant find them on the stores website and may go buy a couple more just for back up). Found dove bucket with cooler insert and rotating seat. Changed the seat out to a bait bucket lid with the air pump included. Took the insert for the cooler lid with a tray and flipped it over and put it back in the bucket. Kinda tight. Push it in slow and level till it meets cooler bottom. Take long sharp knife and cut what is now the top of the cooler insert to match the flip up lid and air hose. Bucket is now 85% insulated top to bottom. All for WAY less than you can buy them anywhere I can find. May save you a few $$. Grizzly Jig says they have the Styrofoam inserts for 5 gallon buckets. May can get one and use a bucket you already have?

holic, I must have deleted out the model of stuff that you have that you had sent me in a pm. Do I want to go with anything less than 5 gal ? I know I want a insulated bucket and not sure if I want to go 12v or batteries. I like being able to move the bucket around with using batteries. Just wish there was somewhere round here I could go and get this stuff, nuttin here in Iuka for sure. Anybody know if anyone in Tupelo might carry these bait aerator setups ??

Thank shine, hadnt thought of that but I have a dove bucket in my shop that has never been used if I remember right and all I would have to add is an aerator Yep that just might do it thanks again

Kinda like the hard top on the first one. Also the latching top so wind dont rip a top off. The second one can be bought cheaper at Walmart. Like the third one best but just too dang expensive for what youre getting IMO.

Maachuu the one I use is a 5 gal bucket that has been fancied up made by bait bubbles I think
