Overview

I remember when I used to walk around the lake with all of my bait and baiting accessories carried in a plain bucket bought from a DIY store. Okay, it served its purpose,


Aqua Products Bait Carry All unloaded
that’s for sure, but this latest bit of kit from Aqua Products is probably at the opposite end of the spectrum from that first bucket I used.

The humble bucket still forms the mainstay of this bait carryall, and why not, as it has many ideal properties. It is light, airtight, waterproof and rodent resistant so it meets all the requirements for keeping baits fresh and dry (or moist when required).

Where Aqua have been clever in this instance is to keep the bucket as the central skeleton for their Bait Carry All and built everything around this. First of all the generous sized green bucket has an internal removable bait tray which seals inside the main bucket and when fishing is ideal for leaving tied up and baited rigs upon, breaking up boilies, playing with flavours and pop-ups, etc. This may seem like a trivial little extra but it’s only when you have used one you realise how useful these are when you are on the bank.

The bucket then slides snugly into the heavy duty holder which in itself can be used as a large sized holdall to carry large volumes of dry mixes, pellets, etc, when not housing the bucket. This outer holder has several long pockets and elasticised strips in which I place my catapults, spods, large flavourings and the like and has its own strong, well stitched carrying handles that allow the bucket and holder to be carried separately if required.

Also supplied with the carry-all system is a padded removable section that I can best describe as a kind of removable ‘glug tray’. This also has its own carrying handles and has nine separate padded sections into which you can place glug pots, bait flavourings, pop-ups and special hookbaits.

Gary Knowles’s Verdict

Okay, a bait carry all may not be rocket science or state of the art but make no mistake this is a well built and very well thought out product, it has quite obviously designed for anglers by an angler and when packed correctly can carry, comfortably, a surprisingly large volume of bait and accessories. I have no doubt this product will soon find favour with carp and specimen anglers alike.
