    My Lure Bucket !

    Hi. I just wanted to share what I came up with using few hardwares, materials and a five gallon container. It's my original concept, not taken from any website or youtube. This is just a prototype. My bucket will be able to show you all your lures easily and cleans easy too - just spray water after use and it drains water on the side corners. Total cost should average about $20. Let me know your comments and suggestions. Thanks for looking! Btw, the middle post is just a threaded 1/2 inch pvc. It can easily be removed for use by bigger hands.

    I like the concept. Since I'm an accident waiting to happen, I just have to ask what keeps the lures from tangling up with each other if the bucket gets knocked over and rolls?

    Thank you guys for liking it. Well, Dasabigfish, inside the bucket has 2 rows of foams, you can use both same time for the bigger lures. Mine looks crowded but I can manage that. Just don't put so many you can't handle, you can space them out. It's entirely up to you really. And if it knocks out, not too many will get tangled. Tight lines!

    You might think about leaving the cap off the pvc pipe in the middle, using 1" pvc and storing king/Spanish wire leaders on the inside and lures in the outside foam.

    Good point there Chillinfish. However, the pvc standpipe is less than 10" tall. Reason for the 3" space above is for my Plano 5 gallon cover.
