Product Information
Full details
The Preston Innovations Round Riddle (6mm) is an essential tool for match and coarse anglers who prioritize precise bait consistency. Designed to fit securely onto standard 18L buckets from Preston and Sonubaits, it enables you to quickly remove lumps from groundbait to ensure a smooth, uniform texture that attracts fish effectively. While its durable construction is built for the bankside, it is specifically optimized for 18L bucket compatibility, which may limit its use with non-standard or smaller bait containers.

FAQs
Can I use this with smaller 5L bait buckets?
No, this riddle is specifically designed for the larger 18L buckets and will not fit securely on smaller containers.
Is the mesh removable?
The mesh is permanently integrated into the frame to ensure maximum structural integrity and durability.
Will the mesh rust if I use it with salt-based additives?
The mesh is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion, provided you rinse it with fresh water after use.
Can this be used for soil or gravel?
While it is durable, it is intended specifically for fishing baits like groundbait; using it for abrasive materials like gravel may damage the plastic frame.
How do I clear clogged mesh?
Use a soft brush to dislodge particles from underneath the mesh after your fishing session is complete.
Troubleshooting
Bait is sticking to the mesh
Ensure your bait is not overly wet or sticky; add a small amount of dry groundbait to improve texture before riddling.
The riddle slips off the bucket
Confirm you are using an 18L Preston or Sonubaits bucket; the rim design is specific to these models for a secure friction fit.
Pros and Cons

- Extremely durable stainless steel mesh
- Perfect integration with standard 18L fishing buckets

Cons
- Not compatible with smaller bait tubs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: position the riddle over your 18L Preston or Sonubaits bucket until it sits flush on the rim. It is engineered to stay in place while you work. For care, rinse the mesh thoroughly with fresh water after each session to prevent bait residue from hardening in the gaps. If bait becomes stuck, a soft-bristled brush can be used to clear the mesh from the underside. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing it in your gear bag to maintain the integrity of the plastic and steel over time.
