Bucket Mania!

[Guest sandpipper]

I didnt know i had a bucket problem until i read this i too buy things because i could use the containers after, i would spend hours cleaning out the old hard/dry paint pots just for the square bucket. Now dont start me on icecream tubbs,when you go into asda and you see the sign 50% extra my kids are thinking yes more icecream im thinking yes bigger tubb. You should hear the rows in our house when the other half has binned a tubb that ive had my eye on.

UURMMM I`ll seek help now.

Where are the holes to see through? You do wear it over your head to really blend in to the background, don't you?

 

I wear it over my head so that I don't scare women and children

I'm the same. I can't bring myself to throw out plastic tubs and containers, believing that they'll come in handy at some point in the future. If it isn't tubs and boxes, it's corks, hair-grips, ping-pong balls and all manner of junk and it's all piled up in a massive drawer under my bed of all places.

Now and again I come up with something homemade that actually serves a purpose but much of the time, it remains redundant so you aren't alone.

Yes I do Elton! Got all tree sizes as well.........must admit to being absolutely gutted as I paid a dam site more for mine of Ebay than the prices given by Fish Rite! DOH Teach me not to get off this forum and have a look a bit more often on the main site!

Got all tree sizes as well.........

 

Don't know if that spelling was intentional, or not, but it's funny either way

Ah Sandpiper welcome to the darkside!

 

Reference icecream my motto is "Sod the flavour just look at the tub"

 

Elton maybe we could have a seperate "Bucket forum"?

[Newt]

Bad idea Budgie because if we did, your brudder might demand a Fox Bucket forum and goodness knows where we would end up.

 

OTOH, if we made it a Fox & Stainless Bucket forum, Elton's brudder might get active again so on second thought, it might be a good idea.

Oh dear, I do this as well, still have not found a use for broken pegs, bits of metal, corks, pins, bent nails, bits of plastic, bits of rubber, old nuts, bolts and washers, broken saw blades, broken quivers, broken rods, bits of electrical plugs, wire, cable, springs, bits of feeders and floats, broken hooks, infact I have more junk than buckets stored in all manner of containers including cheap washkit bags, broken cantilever tackle boxes and loads of glass jars!!!!!!!!!

 

Mind you I have made some handy back leads of all shapes and sizes from a load of barrel, coffin, ball leads and some interchangable ledger bombs that screwed onto a special swivel (yes I had lost all of the swivels).

I have attched them via some old mono or bits of silicon onto some cheap run rings that clip on the line that are designed for this purpose (8 for a quid). The leads have been coloured black with a permanent marker.

 

Wont mind losing a few of them as opposed to over priced commercial jobs!!!!!!!!!!
