Designed with two levels of storage, the top level has two, six-compartment tackle trays ideal for weights, bobbers and other tackle. Remove the top storage tray to reveal a larger bulk storage space with a cut-out detail that when removed provides access to the interior of the bucket allowing the 725 bucket top stowaway to be used as a live bait bucket, too.

If you are a bait fisherman, this is a must item. Always carry a 5 gal bucket to store my cast net and use to sort my bait after catching them. The bucket topper keeps my net secured with no issue of it or the hand line blowing out. It also stores all my extra bait gear like hooks, sinkers and leader line. Plus enough room under the nice trays to store scissors, pliers and other tools. No more need for a separate tackle box or gear box, its all now stored in one easy 5 gal bucket with a handle, It snaps on securely too.

Totally perfect! Fits on a 6.5 gallon bucket better than the lid it came with (Ale Pail). I'm sure some buckets will vary a little, sorry I haven't tried it on a Homer. The lid has a small hole that's big enough for airline tubing, but small enough that water won't splash out. Both compartments have lift-out trays with dividers, and the trays don't go all the way to the bottom of the compartments so I can store my bubbler pump under one tray and my airstones under the other and still use the trays AND snap the compartments' lids closed. Very easy to put on and take off the bucket, the original lid was like a paint can - needed to really pry it off. The bucket handle clears the lid just barely, and the lid is stable enough to sit on. Lose a little bit of space in the bucket because the lid extends a few inches in, but the convenience of having compartments in the lid (and a lid that fits and is strong) really makes up for it when storage and organization are crucial for having a good time. I often carry a bucket with a minnow trap and waders inside to my fishing spots, and carry it back with my catch inside, in addition to a backpack with my tackle and machete and a lightweight rifle case for my rods. Excellent addition to my fishing outfit, would buy a dozen more if I had a dozen more buckets.

My search for a reasonably priced 5 gallon bucket lid found this. I've been using a bucket seat as a lid, since I don't need a tight seal, just something to cover the bucket. The bucket seat was a low cost option, costing a bit over $6 on sale. I always thought it would be nice to have additional tool or parts storage above & not under the larger tools & this bucket topper looks like it will give me that option! :)The pros:+ Low cost of $7.82, with free shipping when I bought one.+ Quality Plano construction. I've been using Plano molded storage boxes for years!+ Snaps tightly onto my Home Depot 5 gallon buckets, but can be easily pulled off.+ Advertised - made in the USA.+ Advertised - made using the highest quality components.+ Advertised - 18 compartments for gear & baits.+ Advertised - removable floor for bucket access.+ Advertised - two layers of compartments of bucket access.+ Advertised - fits most standard 5-gallon buckets.+ Advertised - product dimensions: 12 x 12 x 3.5 inches. 1.6 pounds.The cons:- The upper trays have fixed compartments... the compartment size can't be changed. I may opt to remove, cutout dividers to allow storing larger items in the upper trays. See my update below.- It's too bad this bucket topper wasn't sized so another bucket could be stacked on top. :(Closing comment:â–ª If you sit on this bucket topper... VERY uncomfortable, make sure the upper trays are installed to support your weight!â–ª I read where a reviewer said the bucket handle wouldn't clear the bucket topper. The handle on my Home Depot buckets have plenty of clearance.â–ª I'm going to buy more of these as I find them on sale!â–º Update - November 26, 2015â–ª Today I cutout all the dividers on one upper tray & removed 2 dividers on the other upper tray. Now I can place wrenches & 1/4" ratchets in the open tray. The other tray is used for sockets & smaller tools. This leaves the area under the trays for parts & larger tools. Anything larger goes in the bucket. :)

Sturdy topper pops right onto a HomeDepot bucket. Some say it's very hard to get off, but would you rather have one that pops off too easily? Not me. Just be sure to cut out the location for access to the bucket before popping it on. It does seem to then take away from that storage you would have underneath the tray for that side of the bucket, but I'm going to craft a small lift out bait cutting board to fit in that place and there would still be space for the bait knife and a few other things that will stay out of the bucket while fishing. You can always easily pour the contents out through the cut-out after your done fishing by just lifting off the tackle tray and what not. Even the snap down lids over the tackle trays pop on and off the hinges easily enough. If you plan right, the top has plenty of space for most likely everything you'll need to carry as tackle. I just wish it had a light installed under the lid. I installed my own LED light so I can see what's swimming in there at night. The cut out opening is big enough for a small bait well scoop net.

The Plano Bucket Topper fits loosely, but securely, over Walmart 5 gal buckets, and loosely, but securely, inside Yeti buckets. It provides a good amount of space for my fishing needs. Hearing the plastic becomes brittle with longtime exposure to sun, I'm going to apply the UV protectant I'm planning to use on an inflatable kayak I will be buying. This a cheaper option than the Yeti caddy.

A nice sturdy divider seat. Fits the 5-gallon buckets from Home Depot, Walmart, and Tractor supply. In fact, the fit is quite tight and takes quite a good deal of a finger pull to get off the bucket. I think I might try putting a ribbon or something, as such, as a pull string to help me pull the lid off the bucket, kind of like you see on battery compartments to help open that. This will not be falling off of your bucket! Nice dividers for your lures and what not. Quite convenient. Grab It And GO Fishing! You wont be disappointed unless you don't catch no fish! Even then, you'll be glad you did!

This bucket lib storage box uses heavy plastic so it feels very rigid. It has two plastic trays each in separate deeper wells. There’s also a hole for the aerator tube to pass-thru. And quite comfortable to sit on. My only complain is that it’s too tight on buckets.

Excellent bucket topper. Lots of space for lures and jigs. Shouldn't need to bring along another tackle box.
