What do you mix and keep your groundbait in?

Think the solution is that I'll use a 5l bucket going forward, I bought one of the little gardner camo ones (tart!!) and used it on a recent session. So much easier just been able to put my ingredients in, pop a bit of water in and get my hands in to mix it all without chucking it everywhere 😂

Just leaves the slight issue of having to transfer any left overs into a bag to freeze at the end of the session, but I guess I'll get used to having to do that.

I use a bucket,smallish, that fits in the bottom drawer of freezer, also contains a small sponge to add water and a table spoon to stir ingredients, less messy than using your hands lol

Well that was my problem, I was using a large maggot box which went straight in the bottom drawer of the freezer at the end of a session. However, sometimes I need a full box full of groundbait and I only like to mix once a session if I can help it. Was a pain having to mix in a smaller tub without throwing it everywhere, the 5l bucket sorts that issue but won't go in the freezer in the house so i'll have to transfer into a bag or something. I'm sure it won't be a major problem!
 
Rob,
Line the bucket with a plastic bag before mixing your groundbait. Then when finished, just tie up the bag ,lift out of the bucket and drop in the freezer. Simples !
