I'd like to use a 5 gallon bucket so I can use the bucket for casting/sabiking live bait on shore


If you are going to be on the shore then you really don't need it to float. Just drill some holes in a five gallon bucket, put a lid on it, and tie a rope to the handle.

I catch the bait on shore + then go wade out.

5 gal bucket with holes, two pool floats cut to fit around the top of bucket, one under the other, two rod holders on inside of bucket. I have used this set-up surf fishing, if waves are not breaking to bad. Use rod holders for landing net and pliers. Also bouyant enough to hold rod while re-tying in surf.
