Garbolino Squadra Competition Series 13L Bucket Cover

The Garbolino Squadra Competition Series 13L Bucket Cover is a precision-engineered bait protection accessory, designed for the smaller 13-liter bucket format popular in technical match and silverfish fishing. While sharing the same heavy-duty DNA as the 18L version, this cover is tailored to provide a snug, airtight fit for 13L buckets, ensuring your groundbait and leams remain at the perfect moisture level throughout the session.

Constructed from 100% waterproof Heavy Duty PVC canvas, it acts as a total barrier against rain, wind, and the drying effects of direct sunlight. Its modular design allows it to be fitted to any standard bucket, even those without a handle, making it a versatile addition to any seat box setup.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• Tailored 13L Fit: With a 32cm width, this cover is specifically sized for smaller competition buckets. This ensures that the PVC stays taut, preventing water from pooling on the top during heavy rain.

• Rapid-Access Central Opening: The 25cm zipped opening is identical in size to the 18L version, providing ample room to reach in and ball-up groundbait or refill your feeder without ever needing to unstrap the main cover.

• Dual Lateral Tightening Straps: These high-tension straps allow you to lock the cover securely over the bucket rim. This is particularly useful when transporting your bucket on a barrow or trolley over rough terrain, as it prevents the cover from sliding or popping off.

• Full Weatherproofing: The PVC material is entirely impermeable, meaning it doesnt just keep rain outit keeps the active moisture inside your groundbait, preventing it from drying out and losing its attraction in hot or windy conditions.

• Squadra Series Livery: Finished with the professional Carbon look and signature blue zips, it coordinates perfectly with the rest of your Garbolino Squadra luggage and accessory range.

Ideal Usage Scenarios

• Technical Silverfish Sessions: Perfect for when you are using smaller quantities of specialized groundbait or leam that require precise moisture control.

• Platform & Side Tray Setups: The smaller 13L footprint is ideal for mounting on a side tray or bucket support hoop when space around your seat box is limited.

• Compact Transport: If you are traveling light for a quick canal or river session, the 13L bucket and cover system provides total protection without the bulk of an 18L setup.

• Multi-Bait Management: Use multiple 13L buckets with covers to separate different bait mixes (e.g., one for fishmeal-based groundbait and one for leam/soil), keeping each protected and labeled.

Gerrys Tip: The 13L version is a favorite for river anglers using leams. Because leam can dry out incredibly fast in a breeze, keeping the central zip closed between baiting intervals is the best way to maintain that sticky consistency. Its also worth noting that this cover fits perfectly on the Garbolino Multigrip 13L Bucket Support Ring, creating a very stable and professional-looking bait station
