Anyone remember the big almost 5 gal metal minnow buckets from late 70s to 80s I guess? I can’t find them anywhere. All I can find is Chinese junk.

I don’t remember a 5 gallon size one but a galvanized minnow bucket was always in my grandfather’s boat. Maybe a 2 gallon one. The inside was galvanized also.. you could set it in the lake, that part floated and held the minnows.

I have a couple of the galvanized buckets but they are not that big.

These may have been slightly smaller than 5 gal but not by much. I think Gibson’s used to sell them. They were industrial sized minnow buckets. I’m tired of the flimsy plastic junk. Guess I’m gonna have to make one.

Frabill 8-Quart Floating Wade Bucket,...check this at Cabelas,...about $25

Thanks Jim, I’ll check it out.

This would be the one.

The metal ones are the ones that I have used for years and years.
