TROLLING BUCKET WITH LOADING LATCH MEANS

摘要

A trolling bucket for carrying live bait or the like and adapted to be towed behind a boat comprising a hollow shell, preferably of resilient material with a spring-pressed door normally covering an opening into the interior chamber. Latching means are providing for securing the door in an opened position to enable the bucket to be loaded or emptied. Releasing means actuable from the exterior of the shell free the door from its latching engagement. The releasing means can be a portion of the latching member extending exteriorly of the shell or the door can be released by retracting an extendable handle so that portions of the same slide interiorly of the shell and engage the door.
