Engel 7.5qt Live Bait Cooler with Aerator | Orange Hi-Vis

Grandpa’s Minnow Bucket

Every kid who ever fished with his grandfather remembers the minnow bucket. Ours sat on the dock in the sun, and by ten in the morning the water felt like bathwater. The minnows gasped at the top, and half of them floated belly-up before the first bite. Grandpa just shrugged and said that’s why you bring extra.

Why a live bait cooler beats a bucket

Now you don’t have to bring extra. The Engel 7.5qt Live Bait Cooler keeps bait in cool, well-aerated water, so it lasts longer. The insulated walls shield the water from heat and sun, while the 2nd Gen 2-speed aerator pump keeps oxygen moving through it. Run the pump on low to save battery. Then switch to high when a scoop of minnows needs more air.

Built to travel without spills

Engel moved the air tube port up into the lid, so you can fill the box higher and get fewer splashes. In addition, the airtight gasket seal and self-stopping hinge keep water inside on the drive to the lake. The pull-out net also makes it easy to grab a minnow or change the water without chasing bait around with your hand. Finally, the high-visibility orange finish stands out on a dock, in a boat, or on the ice.
