Minnow Container?

I have been wading a local river for trout and the last time I went I took a water bottle with a dozen minnows in it. It was really hard to get the minnows out and I ended up dropping half of them in the water. I was wondering what you guys used for keeping your minnows while you wade... I know I could use a frabil troll thing but I feel thats way to big for what I'm needing. I was thinking of taking 2 dozen next time. Any ideas would be welcome :)

Thanks,

The troll minnow bucket is hard to beat. put you a long line on it and you can adjust it to float right next to you or away from you. tie it to your belt loop. Once you get use to it you will forget its even there. Make sure you get the trolling kind though. If you use the one that are shaped like a normal bucket you will get a lot of drag. We use them all the time and I wouldnt trade mine for anything.
