Questions & Answers

Have any of you had an issue with the bucket rusting after several seasons of using it?

Rusted is the only description I can give. There's no order in this No longer even able to use it.

Would this be suitable for use at a bar as an ice bucket?

If you look around, you can find a more stylish ice bucket for less. If it is carried full of ice, the bail will likely break away from the bail. I had to weld a piece of the bail to prevent the bail from breaking away with half its volume of water still inside it.

For 19, I would like to buy a metal minnow bucket. Would it be possible to order it for 99 cents and have it shipped to a friend's address?

I would not send the bucket, unless you don't like the recipient if you don't, then you should not

Do you think this product would float on the surface of a pool if it were soaked in ice and beer?

The beer container determines whether it is safe or not A dense object such as glass should sink when you put it in water. The cans should be able to survive a couple of beers, but packing it with a lot As long as the ice floats, there is no problem.

There is no similarity between this quality and that of my father

3/5

However, it is a good value for money. In addition, Paint cans are basically the same size as this gauge. In my opinion, the one my Dad still has is more substantial and made of less shiny metal than the one I have. In the pictures you can see how it looks. What I gather is that there is a yellow material at the bottom of the outer can part, and that it is to help waterproof it? As I tested it, it worked. Water does seem to be held well by the product. In any case. Compared to the can my father owned, this has a better wood handle. You throw the handle that attaches to the inner basket in the lake into the lake (It's nice). There is nothing better than that. If a rope were attached to it, I would feel more secure throwing that. There is no significant difference between the old and new. This has a nice secure latch (you do have to shut it a certain way, but it locks just as I'd like to point out that the claims that this quality is the same as the one in the old thread are highly incorrect. The price is very reasonable, however you will get five years out of it. These people are likely using it in salt water if they are reporting that it rusted. The paint will rust in salt water, of course. It might not get completed by the end of the year, so I will I give this film 3 The quality is good, but the gauge of the material is an absolute Let me have the OLD can of 50 for 50 and let me have the OLD can. A paint can is not a can of paint.

I was somewhat let down by this item

3/5

It has poor galvanizing, so it will rust down soon. It occurred to me that the metal bucket might be more durable than the plastic ones (I always break the handles on the plastic ones, and the plastic after a while becomes It has been in the water for a few days now (with minnows in it), and you can see the galvanizing As soon as it rusts, it will be useless. Upon receiving it, it had a few minor scratches, but nothing that stopped it from functioning (the rim around the floating insert was bent just a tiny bit). As far as the galvanized finish is concerned, I like that it allows better water flow through it when it is in the water and the handle will last a lot longer than plastic, but I am not sure if that is a good thing. This is pretty much going to be a bust. I might end up painting it to slow down the eventual rusting caused by.

This is what I would do

5/5

I call this bait bucket the "old school" bait bucket because my bait guy calls it that. I am able to use it without any trouble for these reasons. As an ice fisherman, I spend a lot of time on the ice. On my property in Maine there is a stream all year round that runs through my camp. In the event I have any leftover bait after a weekend of ice fishing, I can put it into the bucket, which is then disposed of A week later, I come back and find the bait still alive and well. Due to the movement of the stream water, a bucket on the bottom fills with sediment. Therefore, the bait is suspended in clear water in the floating bucket.

Bucket for minnows made of hard plastic

This is a sturdy minnow bucket, just as the one I used to have for.

There are many advantages to using these instead of They are the buckets my dad has always used over the plastic mino buckets, but it seems you can't get these at the store anymore for some reason or another

5/5

There is nothing to be found except It is the third time I have ordered from here, and my family and I are happy with it. It is a recommendation I provide to all my family and friends.

There is nothing useful about it

3/5

A lot of the lids on the outer bucket pop open and the bail on the outer bucket keeps coming off. The item is junk in my opinion.

This is hard

5/5

An authentic classic minnow bucket of the highest quality. These flimsy plastic buckets they sell nowadays do not appeal to me. It is galvanized, so you will be able to use this bucket for many years to come.
