Why didn't I think of this?

I actually like that they have replaced the metal handle with rope. The base is also a good accessory.

YES. of course that bucket system includes, NO BUCKET. So, now we are at 128 + 40 = $168 for a fully configured bucket...

Have you used your clear bottom bucket to see in the water?

Yes, both the new one from last year, and one I made over 12 years ago with 5200 and the HD bucket.

But, if that was a reference to the Erie Canal visability Point taken, the see bottom bucket has had no NY experience.
It has raised many a conch.

I buy my buckets for about 65 bucks. But they throw in five gal of Rotella oil for free.

Wasn't aimed at the Erie.

Why stop there, Parks?

Baccarat champagne bucket with gold fittings. List: $5,995. Street price: under $4,800.

conch story: So, I find myself in a local conch boat, 14' of fiberglass disaster with a new high HP Yamaha twist grip. This is about an hour after I give up looking for conch. I know they are there; but my clear bottom BUCKET and expensive polarized glasses fail me. This local felt sorry for me, so I took him up on his offer. We are racing at maybe 20kts across water over a fathom deep. Two natives in the boat, a spotter and a diver. Now, conch in these parts are disguised. The shells have a covering on them just like the bottom, and the only giveaway might be a trail in the sand, but it ain't much. The driver points out a couple live ones at 25kts. I'm floored by the ability of this guy to find a live conch at this speed without sunglasses, without BUCKET in 8 feet of water. anyway, sometimes its not the gear!

That looks like a $3 bucket with a $37 sticker on it, to me.
