It keeps bait alive for longer, makes bait selection simple, is easy to carry and will last for years. That’s the pledge made by US brand EGO about its new Soft Sided Bait Cooler.
The cooler is founded on the principle of maintaining water temperature and reducing oxygen loss, while an external pouch accommodates just about every brand and model of portable aerator. And a cut-out above the pouch accepts various diameter hoses.
The insulated fabric walls and the cylindrical design mean baits are largely damage-free as they are less prone to bang into the walls or get crushed into a corner.
A shaped, mesh bag that slides in and out of the cooler makes catching bait easy and rules out the need for a dip net.
Measuring 13.5in high and with a diameter of 10in, the cooler has a hard lid which is secured with a water-tight zipper with a large zipper pull, while a handle and removable shoulder sling are also provided.
