Excerpt
Tip 40: Make the Ultimate Ice-Fishing Bucket
GET A BUCKET Start with a standard plastic 5-gallon bucket with a lid to haul gear and provide a seat.
ADD BUNGEE CORDS Wrapped near the rim, they secure jigging rods and tip-ups to the side of the bucket.
ORGANIZE Stash all nonmetallic items with a small tool belt fastened around the bucket. Now you’ve got a great place to stash things like hand warmers, tissues, plastic boxes, bobbers, and even some snacks.
VELCRO IT Attach a cushion or a piece of 3-inch (7.5 cm) foam to the lid. Using Velcro rather than glue allows you to remove the foam easily if it needs to be cleaned or replaced. And it will.
GET A GRIP The handle can also be a storage spot. Get a golf towel (one that comes with an attached clip) and snap it on. Tie on other items that you will use regularly, such as line clippers and a bottle opener.
GET ATTACHED To create handy holders for metal items, buy an assortment of inexpensive magnets. Attach them to the bucket sides with all-purpose glue, such as Gorilla Glue. Set the magnets wherever needed to keep pliers, hooks, and lures easy to reach.
