What are bait buckets and riddles for?

Bait buckets are used to mix, carry and store your groundbait.
A good bucket keeps your car, bank and gear cleaner and makes mixing more comfortable.

Riddles break up lumps in the mix and remove big bits that don’t break down properly.
A smooth, airy bait cloud works better in the water and attracts fish more naturally.

When picking a riddle, look at its diameter and the mesh size.

Fine mixes need a tighter mesh, coarser mixes work better with a bigger mesh.
Many anglers use more than one riddle – first coarse, then fine.

The riddle should sit firmly on the bucket without wobbling.
If you’re not sure which one fits, Jahikala can help you match riddles and buckets that work well together.
