Flambeau Outdoors 6062BC Premium Bait Bucket Lid, Easy-Access Live Bait Storage Accessory, Lime Green

Very nice lid but didn't fit MY bait bucket. Sturdy, better made than my last one, but So disappointed, however it does fit an older 5 gal paint bucket we have. I put alot of work into my bucket that had a similar lid that fit, but it was broken recently and glue just won't fix that break. So, I have to decorate another bucket with less gathered stickers, maybe use our best catch photos.... Bumber....more crafting😵‍💫

Good product, does everything it claims to. Only issue is that it is difficult to put on the bucket, you really have to manipulate it to get on properly. Not an issue if the lid stayed on the bucket, but if you are taking it on and off it’s a pain

This is an update of an earlier review. After further consideration, and a little effort, I was able to make these lids fit all 3 of my 5 gal buckets. A little tight on 2 of them, but the quality and sturdiness of these lids make them worth the extra effort.

I really like that the bait lid stays open and the extra clips etc. on it. Just had a bit of a struggle trying to fit it onto one of my many 5 gallon buckets. It seems just a teeny bit too small and had to form the last section over the lip of the chosen bucket by a lot of pressure. One thing is for sure, it won't ever fly off of the bucket, it's really on there tight!

No issues so far. Fit right on a 5 gallon bucket securely. did not have to force anything

Edit: Since I made my first review of this good idea that won’t work, Flambeau added an additional picture to display the outer dimensions of the lid. If one looks close;y you might notice the white line is showing a outside dimension 11.93 inches. However the one I and apparently many other have, when precisely measured with machine calipers shows the inside dimension at 12 inches. Either way I have not found any bucket from Lowes, Ace, Hoem D., or Uniline that will accept this lid. It is the same size as the buckets. Will never work. I would really appreciate where they seem to routinely suggest most buckets are 11.75 in. Baffling marketing. It wish it worked. It is a great idea. Repeatedly falls of with wave action from the moving boat.The interior size of the this thing is exactly 12" in diameter. Ace Hardware and Home depot (brand new from the store) rim on the 5 gallon buckets are also 12" in diameter. which means one cannot make two 12" object mate up without one being samller than the other. Will not work!!!! IN fact in attempting to make it work, before I took some precise measurements I made it unusable for almost everything. I eventually found an 113/4" inch diameter bucket I had in the garage for a different purpose that kinda fits as long as you don't put water in it and lift it, because it deforms and the top pops off. The description at the top of the page, states that, the top has a 14.25" outside diameter which may true at it widest point, but that is not the interior deminsion. I suppose they have a magiician in house becuse in their technical details they suggest the packaging is actually smaller than the item. also the dimensions of the item in the tech details, is completely different than at the top of the page. So, I am certain equally frustrated fishermen have discovered and commented on, the joy of discovering the exsistence of a solution to aerated bait buckets, has absolutely not has not lived up to the reality. I blame Flambeau for the incredibly inaccurate dimensions stated in there Amazon page. Extremely disapointed. The laack of discalimer that the thing will not fit all five gallon buckets should be stated. I hope the designer who researched this mess has been slapped for his inability to measure bucket mouth sizes.

Want this to fit on the orange Home Depot bucket? Take a heat gun to the inside top 1 to 1.5" portion of the bucket. Keep going around and around the inside edge until the plastic turns shiny which means it's ready to bend to your will. Fit this bucket lid on top of the bucket forcing the hot edge under the lid recess and hold it down for a few minutes until the bucket plastic cools and hardens. You can actually see the curve under the lid and, after it fully cools/hardens, the lid pops on and off the bucket like they were made for each other. This should work on any bucket.

Used this to create a sick bait bucket before I got a boat and was beach fishing almost every day. After a couple years it still looked great even after being out in the Florida sun for countless hours. I actually gorilla glued this lid onto a good quality 5g bucket, zip tied on my bubbler, and glued a couple rod holders to the sides of the bucket. Hope this gives someone an idea of how you can use it. For 15$ it’s a steal. Would have posted a pic but I ended up giving it away a little while back.

Tried on several buckets and fits noneNow I’ll have to take time to modify/grind a bucket edge so this can fit so I can use this productOther than fit seems great but if it doesn’t fit what’s the point
