Abstract
A tip-up organizer for buckets preferably includes a top retention ring, a bottom retention ring and at least two support poles. Each retention ring preferably includes two fixed projections and at least four flexible projections. Each side of the fixed projection includes a tip-up slot, which is sized to receive a thickness of a tip-up base. One side of the flexible projection includes a tip-up slot, which is sized to receive a thickness of the tip-up base. Each fixed projection preferably includes a pole bore, which is sized to receive an end of the support pole. The support pole may be retained in the pole bore with any suitable method, such as threads. An outer diameter of the top and bottom retention rings are preferably sized to be slidably received by an inner perimeter of a large bucket.
