Was just wondering if the 2013 PA12 comes with the pivoting tackle management system standard or if it has been replaced by the drop in bucket system. I ask because I ordered the drop in bucket for my 2012 model and received the 2013 model bucket by mistake. Very nice. Wish it would fit in my yak. Appears to hold 3 of the blue planos and has additional compartments on each side that look ideal for bags of soft plastics. Just wondering.

Would you post of pic of this mystery bucket? I didn't think there were any changes and the foldout 2x3640 plano trays are the default.

What you ordered / received sounds like the original bucket for the older PA 14. It is more square and has dividers. #84505001

For the 2012 PA 12 and 2013 PAs, The folding tackle management for the rectangle Twist and Seal hatch is installed.

We have a rectangle shaped bucket with a web carry strap that is available as an accessory. There are no dividers in the bucket. There is only one type bucket offered.

I have a 2010 PA14 with the original divided bucket. Works great. Holds a ton of standard fly fishing boxes (5x7?). New one looks cool, but the old one looks like it hold more gear.

Have since received the correct bucket. Thought I had a pic. of the first one in photobucket but must have deleted. Will snap a couple shots and upload ASAP. Thanks to all for the feedback.

Here's the mystery bucket.

Oh thats just the one I lost when I capsized the other day.

CLOSE ALL HATCHES!! DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!...

LOL wanna sell it?

I saw it sink to the briny deep and thought...nah...I aint going down for it...

That is the same one that is in my 2011 PA. I think they would be too deep for the new models, but I like mine. I can fit a few of the smaller sized waterproof plano boxes. And some other essentials, like a coozie!
