[cool][#0000ff]We have a whole assortment of small insulated containers (Thermos bottles)...from "soup" size to quart size. We find them cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. They work great for protecting bait from the heat. We use them for crawlers, cut bait and minnows.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]To insure that the bait stays as fresh as possible., keep the containers in the refrigerator for awhile before going. Then, either add one of the refreezable ice packs or put a few small ice cubes in a plastic bag and SEAL IT WELL. You don't want water leaking into your crawlers as the ice cubes melt.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You don't have much pocket space on the Fishmaster. If you don't have enough to hold a cool container, with bait in it, then either wear a fishing vest with a big side pocket to carry it in, or wear a small day pack that you can reach easily. Some folks even wear a small pack in the front, for extra tackle and bait.[/#0000ff]
