Quick take

A compact insulated bait holder with belt clip attachment that keeps live bait cooler for day-long fishing.

This is a small insulated bait holder from South Bend that rides on your belt, so live bait stays within reach while you wade or fish from the bank. The foam-lined body helps keep bait cooler, and the lid swings open away from you for easy access. It weighs about 3.2 ounces, which suits anglers who want bait on the hip without a bulky bucket.

  • Shore and bank fishing
  • Keeping live bait fresh during the day
  • Anglers who fish with live minnows or shiners

Skip if
