wax worm storage

[rags]

what do you folks carry your wax worms in while they are in your pocket ? I use to use chew cans years ago but they are hard to come by now

Thanks

I use bait pucks, just like a chew can only easier to get into and are insulated.  If you need chew cans I can sure send ya some

Gentleman,

I used old metal band aid boxes. Also they say when storing wax worms for a long period of time they should be between 50 and 55 degrees. I found that a wine cooler is perfect for them. You have adjustable temp and 50 degrees is perfect.

Used to use chew cans and now the bait pucks   What a difference  worms last much longer / look great

Strikemaster now makes a bait puck plus, it is double ended so I can carry more then enough waxies with me now, at 8bucks, ya can't go wrong with it !

i use the frabill crawler can and put waxis on one side and minnow heads on the other, this allows me to switch up quickly for the bigger perch/walleye.. plus you can even keep a small amount of whole live minnows if need be.....

[IDbasser]

I use the bait pucks

[RustyWaterDogs]

I use the bait puck also

i could just see my wife reaching for the chardonay and getting a handful of waxies...it wouldn't go over well at all.  unless she'd already been drinking, then she'd wonder how the worm got out of the tequila!!!

BTW, i use bait pucks too.

[spear chucker]

bait puck all the way

I use a old aspirin bottle and keep it in chest pocket of top layer coat where it stays chilly, not to cold but not body temp either, just dont put it back in medicin cabinet. LOL

                  surflizard does the bait puck plus carry double as much as reg puck?i have used snuff cans, film canisters,altoids cans,i now use the reg bait pucks and find them far superor .beside insulated i love the screw on lids,no more bait in the pockets

If you reload you can use the empty bullet boxes

If I use meat, I'll use the puck.

I prefer to let the woodchips and waxies just roam free in my pockets.  JK, Actually the case on my ICE-55 has little mesh pockets, so I just keep the waxies in the original plastic packaging and put them in the mesh pockets.  has seemed to work good for me so far.

I like plastic prescription pill containers, with the push and twist open top, tap a few out in your hand, pick one or 2 out, and pour the rest back into the container. And they won't accidentally open up in your pocket. When I get home I put them back into a bigger container and I keep them cool in a corner of my basement.

I use small ziplock containers the ones you can put a sandwich in.

[Hard Ice]

 I use the strike master bait pucks because there
crush proof .. how many times have you forgoten
them in your pocket and sat on them on the way to the lake ?
i know i have many of times..

I use the flat aspirin  bottles with the small  top cap,it shakes out one bait at a time,perfect.

They do work great for wax worms.  As well as for spawn sacks during salmon season. I remember years ago leaving them in the cheap plastic container and in my pocket.  Had my jacket sitting in my taxidermy studio once and when I walked in, I had flys big enough to mount.  Yup, the cap came off. Pill bottles work great.

I vote for the Bait Puck! 50 degrees is the ideal temp for Waxies - leaky basement window sill temperature.

Perfect!!  FYI......what ever you put them in, don't put them in the frig at frig temps.  Frig temps actually shortens the shelf life.

Container they come in for long term storage , for on the ice I use the vial spikes come in.   Fits great in the chest pocket. 

[Gillfisher]

Strikemaster bait puck, I use yellow for waxies and red for spikes.

[gillcommander]

Bait Pucks for me...I even store them in there after fishing before the next trip! They work great...for spikes I usually take them out of the puck and store them in the fridge.
