bait bucket

Angler's live storage

A bait bucket is a container for keeping live bait—minnows, worms, leeches—fresh while fishing.

The bucket typically has a lid and may have holes or aeration to keep bait alive: He dipped into the bait bucket for another shiner.

Figuratively, something described as smelling like a bait bucket reeks of fish.
