Frabill Minnow Bucket 8qt Insulated

The Frabill Minnow Bucket 8qt Insulated keeps live bait at the right temperature whether you're fishing a local pond or heading out for a full day on the water. This insulated minnow bucket is built to maintain water conditions that keep your shiners, fatheads, or shiners lively and healthy throughout your trip, so your bait stays in fighting shape when it matters most.

An 8-quart capacity gives you enough volume for most freshwater and light saltwater applications without being cumbersome to carry or store in your boat or truck. The insulation works hard to buffer against sun exposure and temperature swings, a real advantage during warm months or when you're fishing a long stretch without returning to shore. If you're running multiple rigs or sharing bait with a fishing partner, that extra capacity pays dividends.

Frabill's minnow buckets have earned their place in tackle boxes and boats across the country because they handle the daily wear of fishing life. This model carries on that reputation with practical design focused on keeping bait alive and accessible. Whether you prefer shiners for largemouth and pike, or fatheads for catfish and walleye, you'll appreciate a bucket that's engineered around the simple job of transporting and storing live minnows without fuss or failure.
