Ive got at least 10 buckets but my mate must have nearer to 30.
When we went Italy because I wasnt smoking I struggled to sleep and had weird dreams every night with at least 2 of which centered around a massive wall of buckets in someones swim it was like bait wars, woke up stressed out π€£π€¦ββοΈ
The mans got 100 buckets, we're screwed! π€£
Managed to get setup just before the rain π€ I'm on a new water so just waiting for it to get light so I can try and find a bar thats out there. The wind should be pushing into this bay later so hopefully I've made the right decision going into this swim π€£
I've just got home mate, bailed out of that the bivvy ended up flooding π€£ be back in the next day or so but will be fishing from a wooden platform that's out in the lake π gotta screw the bivvy down to it which should be fun ππ€£
You can never have enough, They are always dirty when you need them, self cleaning buckets should be a thing. The ridgemonkey ones are also good, i wouldn't mind the complete set of those alsoπ I've also got the tracker one with the airflow draining system. I think I have a bucket and hookbait problem.
He's into the aspect of keeping it separate for throwing by hand or catty due to the different weights, makes sense - I will end up having to buy one or two of these, can't have too many buckets. π
Well in that case I'm guessing that the pegs on your lake won't have overhanging branches so bad that you would need a 6ft. rod , unless there are very tight , underhand cast margin spots ? .
Personally I don't have enough spare cash to buy a 6ft. rod that I would seldom , if at all , find a need for .

I have a greys 7ft stalker rod it's pretty decent tbh my daughter uses it mainly though, if you want a cheap, cheap one the ngt profiler ones are about as good as any of the cheaper ones, I had some but sold them, I find short rods feel a bit weird tbh.
Do you have to stick religiously to your swim on your lake , Jules ? , or can you go " off piste " , crawling through the undergrowth where the monsters may lie ? .
I just like taking loads of bits of bait would be good to just take it all in one bucket
Crumb/chops
Boilies
Pellets
Hemp or whatever particle I want to use that day,
Then I can just mix it in the big bucket and spod as much as I mix.
I've just done it
Korda Kontainer bucket
and ridgemonkey DLX brew set.
2 things I've kinda wanted for a while and not wanted to pay full price for π¬
Fishing outlet had them both on a deal and with an extra 10% off.
They will both make me more streamlined and weight efficient π
