chum bucket

Fishing lure pail

A chum bucket is a container used to hold chum—the mixture of fish parts, blood, and oils used to attract fish when angling.

Fishermen lower or dump the contents overboard to draw fish to the area.

The term gained wider cultural recognition as the name of the rival restaurant in the animated series *SpongeBob SquarePants*.
