I like to use white quart bottles that neck down to a screw on lid. I write my name and address right on the bottle with a black sharpie. A duck decoy bag works great for storing them in. I also like 3'-5' of line and the 2/0-3/0 circle hooks. My favorite bait is the medium whole uncooked shrimp soaked overnight in imitation vanilla. With one pound of shrimp @ $4-5, I can bait up 100-120 times. I have done very well with this for channels and blues.
