A subscriber noticed one of my lure storage buckets and asked me to make a video showing how I put them together. This video comes from the workbench in my garage. It might have a bit much detail, but I give a brief overview of what you need an how to make it early on before showing the more detailed steps.

Very nice! Out of all the bait storage bucket options, this is the best.
Great video. Just made myself one. Can’t wait to use this coming season. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Wishing you tight lines in 2023!
@@justinkrosschell Thanks. You as well.
Hey Thanks! AWESOME VIDEO....sorry it took me a year to find it! HAPPY 2022 MUSKY SEASON from Idaho! jd
If you cut a hole in the bottom, you could slide it over your seat post
Nice Muskie hack!
Thank you
Fantastic!
Pretty cool idea man! Does remind me of a Saw 2 torture device?
I wonder if we could just glue some foam ,like a piece of pool noodle around the edge?
Seems like a lot of work !
Do you think people would buy a kit so they just have to put it together?
LOL! 1/2 hour....
Bolts galvanized to prevent rusting? Drill holes in bottom seams so water doesn't gather?
Used stainless steel hardware to help with corrosion. You can drill air holes in the side and weep holes the bottom, but most of the time I store with the lid off to make sure any bucktails or tinsel baits dry out.
Nicely done. Lakewood boxes are ridiculously priced. 200-300 dollars for a box to put things in? No thanks. I've always just used the big Plano boxes but have been wanting a hanging box, probably going to try this bucket method.
Thanks for the comment! Lakewood boxes are nice, no doubt, but I've always held off because of the cost. I guess I'd rather buy a few more baits, or maybe another tank of gas. The bait buckets are nice for boat hopping if you ever go fishing with a friend. 18-20 slots are enough for a day or a few sessions on the water. The footprint your baits take up in the boat is pretty well defined, and gives you quick access to stow baits when not in use. Keeps your baits organized and makes it easier to move around the boat when you need to bag a big fish!
Wow how anel can you get
Styrofoam coolers work good too.
$100CND lol
