Do the fish bite better with a Lowes or a Home Depot bucket?

I bought a sea anchor at Bass Pro I like that it folds and stows better than a bucket...nothing wrong with a bucket though! Don’t forget to drill holes in it to let some water pass through. I find I have to use the anchor almost all the time because I troll with my 150 Yamaha...the 4 stroke motor does quite well at idle but I found that to get a specific, consistent speed, the sea anchor must be used.
I attach my anchor from the front cleat and it rides amidship on my side so I can monitor its position. Also it doesn’t get in the way of landing a fish (if used from a rear cleat.)
