[blurangerstu]

This is a stupid question but is there a certain bucket that I can buy that fits into my ranger baitwell hole mine fits to tight and wont let the hatch close?

Good question, I was told a Fabril will fit but so far I haven't found one.

I have Lindy bait tamers and they fit perfectly and are really easy to use.

Here is a good picture of the 1 gallon size that I use in the baitwell.

First the good news,, Your looking for a Frabill bucket model 4505..
Now the bad news,, Your probably not gonna find one:mad:

About 2 years ago frabill changed the size and shape of the 4505 but yet Ranger continued to make their baitwell receptor to the same dimensions..

Frabill does have a model 4505 on their website but its not the one your looking for.. They changed the bucket but yet kept the old model number( perfectly logical right?). That only adds to the confusion of trying to find one.. Good luck on your search.... Ken

Bait tammer all the way!

You don't mention the model or year but I had the same issue with my 07 1860. I also found that Frabill had discontinued the model I needed, but I bought the last one at my local Farm and Fleet and then found another one at a bait shop in Boulder Junction, WI of all places (those are since gone). The bucket that fit mine (perfectly) was the Frabill 4 seasons. It has the yellow lid with the black twist tab that locks the lid shut and the black plastic handles.

When I did a search just now to jog my memory, I got a hit at Cabelas!

This bucket sure looks exactly like the buckets that I've got. However, I want to say that mine was an 8 qt and this model looks like a 10qt. If they've changed the dimensions, etc, since 07-08, you may still be out of luck. If you can get to a Cabela's or get some dimensions, it might be worth a try.

I've used the bait tamer and actually like it better than I thought I would. But when I'm in Canada and going through the minnows, I still like the solid buckets better.
