The buckets fit right inside the milk crate behind the seat. This is good for all nighters.

Just heading out for a couple hours and only have a half dozen eels? Than the soft cooler is the ticket Laddy.
yeah, what he said.....the two bucket system works well.

In a kayak, you might want to try the generic eel/bait bucket with a hinged door....No water, just ice. Then keep a face cloth or rag to pick up the eels (gives you grip). Good luck

Fish Rule!
