Have had good and bad luck keeping leeches over the years. What type of container do others use to store leeches in the 'fridge?

I use the leech tamer bag, inside a small bucket of water.

Once a week I will change the water. They stay real well.

Hope this helps.

Driftbag.com is were you can order them.

I use a small cooler with the built in ice pack in the lid.Fits in the fridge great and when I hit the lake I can take the fridge with me by screwing the refreezealbe ice pack back into the lid.The combination of the already cold water,the insulated cooler and an ice pack keeps your leechs cool all day.When thru fishing for the day I clean the cooler by dumping the leechs into a small net,dumping out the dirty water and rinsing and replacing the water with fresh lake water and then returning the cooler to the fridge.I'm able to keep my bait fresh until the next weekend.I always buy my leechs by the pound and they last all summer long.
