Carrying Finicky Foolers and Hole Covers

What do you use to carry your Finicky Foolers and hole covers? They say to use a 5 or 6 gal bucket for the Foolers and covers, but only one ring for the covers will fit in the 5 gal buckets I have. I’m guessing that since 5 and 6 gal buckets usually use the diameter lids that may not be the answer for carrying 2 or more hole covers, or am I wrong? Tried looking around for a small plastic tote, etc. but they’re either too small or WAY too big.

I bought the ff bucket combo with 2 hole covers 2 ff and it all packs together nicely. It was like 70 bucks for everything shipped if I remember right. Maybe it was a sale I can’t remember.

Thanks Bearcat. That’s what I wanted to do was to order the combo pack, but the Fooler site was sold out of combos, hole covers, and buckets so I ended up ordering from Scheels to get the Foolers and covers. I’ll look at 6 gal buckets at Farm & Fleet, etc. but would like a small tote, etc. if I can find one. I have my existing bucket set up with rod holders on the outside and carry my fish on the inside of it so not a Fooler-friendly combination and not nestable with another bucket…

I use a 2 1/2 gallon bucket. I can get 2 coolers, rims and covers in it.

I keep my foolers in a small tote that goes under my seat in my flip over and just toss the hole covers in the flip over sled if I’m using them. I tend to use the ice stopper bobbers instead.

I put the foolers in my otter caddy and then the hole covers just in random spots they fit in the sled.

I have both sleeves and both covers in a regular 5 gallon fleet farm bucket.

Whoops, I’m a dummy. That fleet bucket is a 6 gallon.

Thanks Bearcat! A 6 gallon bucket will be on my list!

Whats the next name your gonna hide behind. The walleyeforme didn’t work, especially after mama slapped your pecker. Bitch boys we call your type.

I’ve been a member here for a long time but like I said I guess it’s just your style to jump all over someone apparently even if they agree with what you say. And the threatening PM you sent me was real classy. I’m super scared! Says a lot about the kind of guy you are. Why don’t you take your big truck and get lost.

Funny you cry when some one calls your bluff. And my threat pm ? The one where I told you where I’ll be late next week if you wanted to bash me to my face. No threat, just letting you know. I’m well aware you like to hide behind the name and talk trash we’ve seen it for weeks.

Hopefully someone can permanently block this troll it’s obviously the same person but had multiple usernames for obvious reasons. If it’s some other random that just now decided to be a douche I will eat my socks.

Remind me what I did that’s wrong? You guys sure like the childish name calling. Your the one breaking the rules here

Childish name calling ? Like that wacko melt down you had on Dutch a week back when you recieved the boot, remember that’s why you got the boot and came back as a new name ? What did you call that episode? That was childish name calling. I’m sure you were hammered and probably can’t recall. Funny how fast the instigator turns to the victim.

I’ve been here for atleast 7 or 8 years and I’m still here. Never received “the boot” but you are the always right all authority on everything IDO so go live in your fantasy land some more.
