Csalis box

A bait box is not just a simple storage device - the right choice can keep bait fresh for longer, avoid spillages, odour mixing and unnecessary wastage. Whether you're fishing with live bait, flavoured pellets, mini-boys or wafers, a well-chosen bait box is key to tidy and efficient waterside work.

Bait boxes are available in a variety of sizes, lid types and ventilation options. The perforated-top versions are great for live bait such as snails or worms, while the closed-lid versions are ideal for pellets or aromatic baits. Some models also have a measuring scale on the lid, allowing accurate dosing even in tournament situations.

Preston bait boxes are renowned for their precise fit and durable materials. They have a transparent lid and well-ventilated side walls, so whatever bait you use, you can be sure it will stay in good condition until the end of the fishing trip. And the rounded corners and sturdy shape make it easy to hand-bait and feed into the bait.

What's the difference between a bait box and an ordinary plastic container?
Bait boxes are specifically designed for fishing: they are tightly sealed, ventilated, resistant to moisture and odours, and easy to handle, even with wet hands.

What size box is recommended for a day's fishing?
A 0.25-0.5 litre box is sufficient for bones or pellets for an average day, but for live bait it is better to store several smaller boxes to preserve freshness.

Can aromatic baits be stored in it?
Yes, but it is important to store them in separate boxes so that the scents do not mix. Carp Zoom has several well-sealed models for this purpose.

Are these boxes dishwasher safe?
Most are hand washable, but some manufacturers (such as Preston) use heat-resistant materials and can be washed in a dishwasher at low temperatures.

TackleBait offers a range of bait boxes from classic round shapes to rectangular assorted systems - to keep all your bait fresh, accessible and tidy, whatever your fishing method.
