Why square or rectangular? Round is best, no corners.

Bait box?
Washing up bowls are also good.
Sandwich boxes and they tend to have rounded off corners inside.
As Peter has already said though, i would have thought that round would have been better.

Washing up bowls for me, stack inside each other and fit my box perfectly, and when packing box, can use bowls for baitboxes/reels/packets etc. One for g/bait, and one for rubbish, packets/line/old hooks etc

The only rectangle ones i,ve seen usually slide underneath a side tray,although my daiwa tourny box has one that slides under the frame,but as the others said youre better off using a round one and buying round riddles that fit ,Chefster

Drennan used to do a small(ish) simple square plastic bowl a few years back. I'm pretty sure that they don't do them any longer but they are just the kind of thing that turns up in a tackle shop rummage.

How do you know? He doesn't say where he's going: "any one know where i can get a small square or rectangular groundbait bowl "
Personally I only use round ground-bait bowls as they are much easier to use for mixing.
Preston do a couple on good strong bowls, take a look:

Round ones are better for mixing BUT square ones are much better for keeping on your side tray as they fit better and do not waste space. Most anglers now mix & riddle through round and then place some of that in a smaller square one to keep beside them on the side tray. So need both types.
I love the Greys new bait boxes, not round, not square, but sort of hexagon shaped! they are superb quality and you can buy them in different sizes and with ether flip top or standard lids, the flip tops being good to stop your maggots from vacating the premises

The box is defined by what you put in it.
Put ground bait in it and you have a nice new square groundbait box.

Hi Phil,
I was tought (by an England international match angler) to always use a round mixing bowl. Good groundbait has a consistent texture. If your mixing bowl has corners, moisture gets trapped there and you will get lumpy bits in your mix. If you use a collapseable round mixing bowl, it takes up less space in your carryall.
Once you've mixed it, transfer it to a square / rectangle groundbait tray or bowl for comfort. I keep my mixed groundbait in an old plastic shakespeare seatbox side tray, or a big tupperware sandwich box, as these fit perfectly on my bait table.
Just remember you might need to "freshen up" the groundbait from time to time (I use an atomiser spraygun) or it will dry out in the sun (if it ever comes out again!).
Good luck!
