Detailed Specifications

Where to Use

• Big River Matches: When targeting Bream and Hybrids on venues like the Shannon or the Trent, you often need massive amounts of heavy groundbait mixed with soil or leam. The 40L capacity ensures you can mix everything in one go.

• Commercial Margin Fishing: Ideal for prepping large quantities of slop or micro-pellet mixes when youre expecting a big-weight finish in the final hour of a match.

• Festival Sessions: If youre fishing multi-day festivals, this bucket is perfect for keeping a master mix at the back of your peg, allowing you to top up your smaller bait tubs as needed.

• Bait Cleaning & Soaking: Use the massive volume to power-wash large quantities of pellets or to store hemp and tares in water to keep them from drying out during a summer session.

Pro Tip

Gerrys Pro Tip: The double handle isnt just for carrying! When you are riddling groundbait, the two handles provide a much more stable anchor point. Hold one handle while you work the riddle with your other hand to prevent the bucket from sliding around on uneven ground. Also, if youre fishing a venue with a long walk, use the double handles to balance the bucket across the handles of your Garbolino Trolleyit creates a much more stable center of gravity than a single-handle bucket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need two handles?

When a 40L bucket is full of dampened groundbait and leam, it can weigh over 15kg. A single handle puts immense pressure on one hand and the buckets rim. The double handle system distributes the weight evenly, making it much safer to lift in and out of a car or carry to a distant peg.

Does it come with a lid?

This specific model is the open-top mixing bucket. However, we stock a range of compatible Garbolino bucket lids and bowl covers at Gerrys Fishing that are designed to snap onto this 40L rim to keep your bait dry and prevent evaporation.

Will the handles rust?

The handles are made from reinforced steel with a corrosion-resistant coating. To ensure they stay in top condition, simply wipe them down with a dry cloth after fishing in wet conditions or using salty additives.

Is it easy to clean?

Absolutely. The internal surface is polished and non-porous. Even the stickiest Method mixes or molasses-based groundbaits will wash off easily with a bit of lake water and a sponge at the end of your session.
