CaptDavis Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Who is going to buy the Yeti bucket for $40? If you are, please state why, and how it is better than a normal 5 gallon bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 A bucket. Very cutting edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitless Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Ah, give 'em break and buy one. They gotta pay for that slick advertising somehow! My Redfisher came with an Engel 35 for the seat in front of the console, and it is a superior cooler to the one yeti I had. Consumer reports tests show that engel wins consistently over the yetis. I'm all for free market, and more power to the yeti folks, but I cant see paying $299 for the 35 yeti when I an get a 35 Engel for $199. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convertible13 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I bought the Yeti bucket and it made me a better fisherman, I smell better, get more girls and I look so cool. Thank you Yeti for taking my $40.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HewesYourDaddy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I use my Yeti bucket for an on board potty. Keeps the brown Trout from smelling up the place. Magical, built in deodorizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conocean Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Aw c'mon Capt Davis, don't you want to be a part of the Yeti revolution!?!? What a joke! I bet they sold a few thousand of those buckets the first day they were released. Just goes to show that companies can be successful selling poo on a popsicle stick if they advertise to the right crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justdriftin Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I think this is actually genius, definitely not worth $40. But except for custom fiberglass deals, who would have thought about paying even Engel prices for a cooler before Yeti, when a 50qt. Igloo was maybe $50? Their goal now is to see how much people will pay for really over-engineered common outdoor stuff. They know most fishing people will pay for hi-end gear, and are usually early adopters. And let's face it, a lot non-fishing people want to be like fishing people because it looks so dang cool. But still not shelling out $40 for a bucket, though I'll probably get one for Christmas from my in-laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishtails Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 It's just like the tumblers. $40 for a cold beverage glass and you can get them all day at Walmart for less than $10 for the 30 ounce. But then again I'm not as brand sensitive as some, that is except for the boat I choose to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 My wife spent I don't know how much for a Yeti Roadie 20 qt cooler for Christmas for me. She thought I needed one?!?! I looked duly excited when I opened it Christmas morning. I tried not to think about how much money she spent on it. And the thing is, I am not even impressed with how long ice last in it. Maybe I was supposed to go through a "break-in" or treat it with a magic potion before I used it. I dunno..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligan Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Seems cheap compared to some. Buckets of Cash While a 5-gallon bucket often isn’t much to look at, when the suggested retail price is three figures, it’s worth a closer look. Among the items on display in the Boating Accessories category of the New Product Showcase was a 5-gallon bucket made by HUCK Performance Buckets. It’s an off-white color with a sturdy, coated handle and padded non-slip feet on the bottom made by Vibram, which is a global player in the outdoor footwear world. Photo: BassFan This 5-gallon bucket from HUCK Performance Buckets will retail for $119.95. The product description claims it’s a 5-gallon bucket on steroids. So, too, is the MSRP at $119.95.

LarryH Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I think the Yeti bucket is an improvement on the regular bucket. The tie down points and heavy duty handle look good. After spending 50-grand on an 18' flats boat...a 40 dollar bucket is not a big deal. (no, I have not bought one...yet. L0L) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0L) This is so true, $40 doesn't see all that much in comparison, as absurd as it sounds. Yeti has a field of dreams customer base right now, build and they will buy it. I am going out on a limb and guessing a future Yeti product will be fish bags, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerforHire Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 If anybody is looking for a good bucket in both 31/2 or 5 gallon size look an shurhold products. Fla company and great product both buckets are half the price of Yeti and I think they are much better! Take a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localangler Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Firehouse subs, they sell 5 gallon buckets for about 2 bucks with no tax (the money goes to a first responder fund) . The only down side is you need to let the dill pickle smell air out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Juice Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 If yeti would make a tackle bag in the same material as the soft coolers, I'd probably buy it. I can't seem to keep a bag longer than a couple years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to have STACKS of dryvit buckets at his office. If he saw me paying $40 for a bucket, he'd roll over in his grave.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
