Quick take
A rubber-coated mesh basket that floats and folds flat for storing live fish or bait in buckets.
This foldable floating basket turns a standard 5-gallon bucket into a holding pen for live bait or a catch you plan to release. A rubber-coated mesh body sits on an elastic steel ring about 11.6 inches across, and it collapses flat into a carry bag for the trip. It works from a boat, a kayak tethered alongside, or the shore, in fresh or salt water.

- Kayak fishing with bait or caught fish
- Boat-side live well in a bucket

- You need a fixed permanent live well
