Questions about Frabill Worm and Leech Lodge | Ventilated Storage for Worms and Leeches | Specially Designed for Walleye Fishermen

How many worms can you put in container?

Answer: We have used ours for leeches, so I don't know about worms and I believe my husband put about a dozen leeches in it.

Answer: This is a good size container and you can easily put 6 dozen or more crawlers in it without over filling

Answer: You can put 3 to 6 dozen large nightcrawlers easily ..just keep the dirt moist when in use and refrigerated when your not using it..Best bait container I've ever owned!

Answer: I use worm bedding, and this can easily hold 6-8 dozen with enough bedding for a day, but small enough to fit in cooler on hot days.

Answer: With the dirt that you usually get when you purchase a dozen crawlers, I’d say you can easily fit 2 dozen. I use mine for leaches.

What is the trap for?

The description and details show 2 different sizes what is the correct size?

Answer: Both has a styrofoam insert in it you can remove

Answer: It will hold a commercial container of night crawlers.

what is the interior trap used for?

Answer: You can pick your bait up and the water will drain out of the interior trap. Then dump the water out of the outer bucket and put fresh water in it.

Answer: As a woman who goes fishing, when the interior trap is dropped into to water it fills but most of all when it is lifted out the water comes out making very light it easier to lift.

Answer: To hold the minnows, the outside bucket holds the water. The enter bucket has holes around the bottom to be use in a boat our place in the water.

How big is the hole?

Answer: about 7 inches

Is this an insulated bucket

Answer: No

What size batteries does it take? How many?

Does this do a good job keeping the car dry transporting it to fishing hole?

Answer: car yes on a snowmobile ride__don't know yet. got for winter fishing.

Answer: If you put it in a milk crate so it doesn't fall over you will not loose your water as long as it is not filled right to the top

Answer: Yes, I had no problem driving it from the bait shop. It worked perfectly.

Answer: Generally speaking, yes. As long as it remains upright.

Will this stay in a livewell of a boat and not float?

will this bucket fit in the 6-gallon padded seat bucket

Answer: yes, fits in my "fish and sit" bucket just fine

Answer: Easily...its 8 qt capacity. 10.63 in. D x 11.5 in. H

Answer: yes, it should.

How many cups of bait can this container hold

Answer: With the foam in it probably one normal bait container you would get in a bait shop.

What is the diameter of white portion of the interior bucket and then the diameter of the yellow portion of the interior bucket?

will this bucket fit in the frabill 6-gallon padded seat bucket for transport

Does it float and is it waterproof? looking for something I can put in water to attach to my float tube, not something that will drown my live worms

Answer: As for floating I've had no issues setting it in the water to keep the temp down for the worms, it's a nicely made styrofoam container and the top fits good and snug!...I myself have had no problems with the lid, but I've seen other tell otherwise!

Answer: not sure, I carry it in my boat, I have 2 and one of them the lid doesnt stay on very well. not made as goe d as my old ones. I think that the water would come in at the lid , cause it doesn't have a tight tight seal.

Answer: It does float but it’s not waterproof.

What size batteries does it take and how many?

Product reviews of Frabill Worm and Leech Lodge | Ventilated Storage for Worms and Leeches | Specially Designed for Walleye Fishermen

the elder : One Star

LID NEEDS NEW DESIGN TOO EASY TO DROP.I WENT BACK MY OLD SQUARE ONE WITH THE ELASTIC BAND

Stingray102 : Top is easy to get off and on with wet hands

Just the right size. Can keep a couple dozen fat nightcrawlers in storage; but not too big for just grabbing and taking with you to go to fishing. Top is easy to get off and on with wet hands. Nice little worm bucket.

Dale : Four Stars

It works good and sets up with my aeriator pump to help keep bait alive.

Jay R Rock Hall : NICE BAIT CONTAINER

SIZE IS EASY TO HANDLE AND FITS INTO EXTRA REFRIGERATOR EASILY.
MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE LID ON PROPERLY.

Robert T. : Four Stars

perfect for catching perch

Amazon Customer : Wish i had ordered it sooner

Worked great and ran for several days on 1 set of batteries. Really liked the insulated bucket. It kept everything from getting to hot and dying.

Phil : a bit of a disappointment but oh well

This item is advertised as having the aerator and hose but the package arrived without them. After contacting Amazon the description is wrong and the price is just for the bucket, a bit of a disappointment but oh well. The bucket itself is of good quality and well made.

Murph : Love this bait bucket with air

Love this bait bucket with air. Keeps the minnows alive for hours. Have not had to throw a dead one back yet.

Amazon Customer : Bucket is as described

This was ordered as a Christmas gift for my boyfriends father, and it arrived quickly and in good condition. The bucket was as described, and we were satisfied with the quality of the product.

B.P. : Best for the money

This is a great bucket. Keeps the bait alive for days. If you fish with minnows this the the bucket you want.

Karl D. : Good bucket

Works great. Doesn't seem to leak like other styrofoam minnow buckets. Perfect size. Hole and clip for air bubbler.

Sean lawrence : small

The picture is very decving . Its much smaller than what it appears to be

Steve Goodson : Five Stars

The insulation really helps here in Texas!

Colten E. Bennett : Watch for the top falling off.

Top will fall off if you don't pay attention.

46 r 4550 : Decent way to keep bait fresh

I used this to keep my worms fresh. I pour water in them and freeze it. Then I simply rinse off my worms and set them on the ice.
The worms stay fresh and alive even on the hottest fishing days.
My only concern is that the insulation is loose and came away from the side of the plastic container when I put the container in the freezer.
I have an older model that has an orange top and the styrofoam insulation seemed to be a better quality.

Michael Dewey : Works great had minnows in it for three weeks had to ...

Works great had minnows in it for three weeks had to change batteries a few times but think it's well built couldn't be happier

Lynette G. story : love these.

love these..they keep my worms cool while we go fishing and I can keep them in my ref. for weeks- alive- so I have them handy when I go again

Amazon Customer : One improvement needed.

Was great for leeches and worms. Only gripe was top didn’t stay seemed all the time when it was turned to shut it. Loose seal. But satisfied overall.

Joe D Hardgrave : Four Stars

Worked great

Daniel F. : Perfect size for day trip

Just bought one, and I put 6 dozen crawlers with bedding, perfect size.

Amazon Customer : Headline

Review!

Amazon customer : Medium size

The picture is nothing like what I got.

kay : Keeps worms alive

I like it it is small but it keeps the worms alive. I'm plan on buying another for nightcrawlers. Wish it were bigger

Amazon Customer : Wish i had ordered it sooner

Worked great and ran for several days on 1 set of batteries. Really liked the insulated bucket. It kept everything from getting to hot and dying.

Mike : Leeches escaped

I have been using an earlier version of this product for 20 years without any problems and recently purchased this for a camping trip where I needed one for both leeches and crawlers. Overnight the majority of the leeches escaped leaving me without the bait I was depending on to catch dinner.

Steve Goodson : Five Stars

The insulation really helps here in Texas!

Luis Ernesto Espinoza : Five Stars

Satisfied with the purchase, it met my expectations. I definitely recommend

Kelley : Works great.

Inexpensive, tough, insulated. Works great.

Jay R Rock Hall : NICE BAIT CONTAINER

MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE LID ON PROPERLY.

Amazon Customer : disappoint!!

No insulation layer at all ! disappoint !!!

Victor Fenik : Picture is misleading

The picture shows another similar bucket for minnows, so pay attention to the size when order.

mikger : conforme a description

Robert T. : Four Stars

AmazonBT3 Customer : Bt3

Love this product..... wish they can in a slightly larger size too

Mholzap : I love the size of this minnow bucket

I love the size of this minnow bucket. Please note- if you get 2 of these they are not stackable.

jimmy ray black : Five Stars

Every fisherman needs one

rose : Junk!!

Lid not very secure. Went fishing and when I went in my cooler to get worms I found them all over the cooler and not in the container. Very poor design.

robert j. mccall : As advertised

Good

David Scheunemann : Five Stars

Is what I wanted.

Dale : Four Stars

It works good and sets up with my aeriator pump to help keep bait alive.

Amazon Customer : Do not buy

I would not recommend this product to anyone. First it is way smaller then the picture looks. Secondly two times now I have put worms in it they have gotten up in my refrigerator, luckily both times I also had the container down inside a plastic bag.

A. Anderson : Perfect little worm keeper

Perfect little worm keeper. Sits in fridg like a jar of pickles. Handle makes it easy to tote around.

Amazon Customer : disappoint!!

No insulation layer at all ! disappoint !!!

Amazon Customer : As expected it's an insulated minnow bucket. Works well ...

As expected it's an insulated minnow bucket. Works well and was half the price of the bait shop and big outdoors store.

Carlos I. : Great for Shrimp or live fish!

At first I had purchased a bucket from Bass pro shops to keep my shrimp when i go out to catch some yellow tail snappers but the bucket did not include a quick open lid like this bucket. After I saw this bucket on amazon I returned the one from Bass pro shops and bought this one and I am so happy I did. First of all the dimensions are perfect for my boat, it is more narrow that it is wide which means it take up less space. Second the hatch in the lid opens and closes with no problem. It is perfect for live shrimp or live fish. I would recommend this to anyone fishing on a boat or a bridge!

Chad Roberts : Compact n handy. will buy more.

Nice little bait bucket. Styrofoam liner. Locking lid. I'd say it will hold about a cup or 1 1/2 cups.

todd : Cover latches poorly. falls off and leaches swim away.

Frabill needs to put a little more thought into this leach lodge. Cover is held on with a slight turn and latching mechanism, at least on the brand new one I received is very insecure. My cover fell off while in my live well. Could have been on a string in the lake.
My gut tells me something like this should have a thumb activated spring mechanism to open top, so one hand cn open and grab a leach while the other holds the hook.
After one outing, I'd not buy again. I'd try a different one.

Amazon Customer : One improvement needed.

Was great for leeches and worms. Only gripe was top didn’t stay seemed all the time when it was turned to shut it. Loose seal. But satisfied overall.
