If you've ever spent time on a serious Sportfisherman or a "Battlewagon", you probably noticed that
the 5 gallon buckets used on board had their wire handles removed and replaced with a piece
of dock line. There are several reasons for this. The wire handles can rust, they rattle and they
can also scratch the big buck paint job or gel coat finishes on the boat. Some crews like to hang
them from the fighting chair for various reasons and the wire handle doesn't allow this. But the biggest
reason that any Mate will tell you is that the rope handle is just more comfortable if you're lugging
buckets full of water, ice, chum and fish all day long.
Top Shelf Marine Products introduces the new Battle "Field Bucket"™ in the FishouFlage™ Bass Pattern. This bucket maintains some of the same great features as the Battlewagon™ and Coastal Bucket but in addition it comes with a stunning Bass and Freshwater pattern by FishouFlage™. Our custom made rope handle in Camo accents the bucket to make it a sharp addition to any Bass Fishermans arsenal.
Big ocean Fisherman learned years ago that the rope handle of the Battlewagon Bucket makes carrying heavy loads much easier and much more comforatble. The rope handle also provides a comfort grip with wet or slimy hands. In addition the rope handle won't damage the boats finish, rattle or rust. Top Shelf Marine Product's exclusive and Patent Pending transition hooks allows stacking of multiple buckets to save space. And space is always a premuim on a boat.
Features of the Battle "Field Bucket"™ FishouFlage™ Bass version:
High quality SST transition hooks for long life
Sturdy 70 mil construction
Full 5 Gallon capacity
12.5" Diameter X 13.5 High
Premium 9/16" Diameter 12 strand Euro Braid Rope handle in "Boa" Camo Pattern
The Battle"Field Bucket"™ - Carrying the load over rough terrain!!
The problem with the home made version (usually 1/2" 3 strand) is that the large holes drilled for the rope handle allows liquid or chum to slosh out or leak and the big knots won't allow you to stack the buckets. And space is always a premium on a boat. The big knots can also snag your pitch bait rig at the worst possible time, like when that Grander is wreaking havoc in your spread.
The Top Shelf Marine Products patent pending "transition hook" alleviates these issues. It is Purpose Built for this application and it allows a rope handle to be used with our premium 5 gallon (14.5" tall) buckets with no holes or other modifications. The "transition hook" is installed and permanently attached to high quality and massive 5/8" diameter Marine Grade 12 strand nylon line using a unique and novel attachment method. The "transition hooks" are made of high quality passivated Stainless Steel and will not rust or discolor. The large diameter rope is easy on the hands and offers a superior grip with wet or slimy hands.
The Top Shelf Marine Products Battlewagon Bucket™ in Black is the perfect “Sand Hog” Bucket.
It can be used in many different field applications wherever heavy bucket loads need to be carried by hand. The 5/8” diameter Mega-Braid™ Rope Handle offers superior cushioning and a better grip than the standard wire handle found on most other 5 gallon buckets.
If you’ve got personnel working in areas where a wheelbarrow, much less heavy equipment cannot be used, you’re probably working at the shovel or 5 gallon bucket level already. Your guys are probably wrapping rags, old gloves or cardboard around the wire handles of the buckets they use to cushion their grip. Our Rope Handled Buckets make that practice a thing of the past.
The Rope handle also accommodates hoisting and rigging equipment much better than the typical wire handle and will not deform.
The Rope handle and HPDE Plastic Bucket are black in color to hide dirt and smudges. Like all of our Battlewagon Buckets, it is completely stackable for maximum loading density on trucks, ships and aircraft.
Optional Black Lids are available.
Applications:
Wherever you need to move material across soft ground, marsh, beach or shoreline and can’t use a wheelbarrow or heavy equipment. Wherever you need to load, lift or hoist buckets of material:
Small batch aggregates
· Cement · Plaster & Skim coat · Sand mix · Mortar
Oil Spills, clean up and recovery
· Oil contaminated water · Oil slurry · Oil contaminated sand, rock and gravel
· Tar & Saltwater Emulsified Oil
Water transport
· Potable water · Black & Grey water · Other contaminated water
Our White Battlewagon buckets are made from thicker 90 mil material by one of the largest and oldest container manufacturers here in the US. They'll stand up to UV better, last longer and look better than their off the shelf 70 mil retail store counterparts. These features make the "Battlewagon Bucket" a superior boat bucket.
We also offer a 70 mil version bucket in black. These are great for engine room applications and will hide dirt and smudges. You may also know that live bait just seems to stay a lot calmer and last longer in a black bucket.
White buckets are available with White, Black or Navy Blue rope handles. Black buckets are available with black rope handles only.
The Batlewagon Bucket is proudly made in the United States.
Lid for either the Battlewagon Bucket or the Coastal Bucket.
They snap on and off. This makes for a great dry storage
container on any vessel.
Coastal Bucket
The "Coastal Bucket" incorporates some of the same great features of the Battlewagon Bucket but in a smaller footprint.
This 3.5 Gallon, 11" tall bucket is more compact to take up less space on Coastal, Bay and Flats Boats. They store easily in smaller lockers and fish boxes. Kayakers and Pier Fisherman will like the smaller capacity as well.
And just like the Battlewagon Bucket it uses the same Stainless Steel transition hooks, so there are no holes or knots to accommodate the rope handle. The Coastal Bucket can be filled to capacity without leaking and multiple buckets can be easily stacked.
The Coastal Bucket uses the same lids as the Battlewagon Bucket and together they make great dry storage for cast nets, dry chum and bait, spare engine parts, food and snacks. In addition, larger vessels can put the Coastal Bucket to good use for Flybridge and Tuna Tower washdowns.
Features of the Coastal Bucket:
High Quality 12 Strand ½” Nylon Rope Handle
Won’t rattle
Won’t rust
Won’t scratch or mar the boats finish
All Stainless Steel and passivated Transition Hooks
No Holes
No knots
Easily stackable
70 mil “virgin” HDPE material
All of our buckets are brand new and factory fresh
Please note that some shops are re-selling “once used” buckets. These could have contained anything from cole slaw (maybe not too bad for live bait) to medical waste (is your live bait glowing at night?); yuck!! So just be vigilant.
