I use an ammo box to store them.in off-season. For checking and setting, I bolted an old carpenter belt with pouches to outside of a five gallon orange bucket. The lure and bait jars even urine bottles fit nicely in the pouches and are on outside of the bucket. Hammer, sifter, other tools and couple traps and stakes (when setting) go inside bucket. After sets are made, I have another bucket smaller one that I just put some lure and bait jars in. I've also used an old bird hunting vest and that works really well for checking sets. The twelve gauge shotshell holders on outside of the vest I have are closed on bottom and hold one ounce lure bottles very well. Couple front pockets hold bait jars, and the bird pouch in back holds a trowel, pliers, and wire. Hands are free then to carry catches. I walk a good portion of our lines so this works for me. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Were did you get those ammo boxes? Never saw any like that.
Not as bad as I could be, not as good as I should be.

Yep... the ones with a removable tray with dividers. Bait, gloves, etc. in the bottom, lure bottles in the removable tray. I added a rod to the top of the lid to support it when its open. I can then just put the tray on top of the lid. Were did you get those ammo boxes? Never saw any like that. Looks like a muzzleloader box. not a bad idea. an old plano tackle box would work. find what works for you. i got a tool bag at harbor freight for 8 bucks for my gland lure, and i keep my baits and urines in the old metal ammo cans.

In the back cargo section of my SUV (Terrain) there are pockets on each side(part of the truck). They are about 2 ft long and 1 ft wide and 8 in deep. I got some Styrofoam wine bottle holders from an empty wine case and trimmed them to fit. They can hold a couple of 4oz lures or 16 oz squeeze bottles of fish oil or urine etc. They don't rattle around and are handy for road trapping.

harleydparts , Menards and many places have the plastic ammo boxes.
Small 6 can coolers and small soft side coolers work well for bait or lure . I don't keep bait in the same container with lure . Usually only 3 or 4 lures also .
Simplify your methods to the point of perfection.
Become fast,efficient & effective.
The real "SECRET" to successful trapping.
KEEP IT SIMPLE!

I keep mine in 4 x 4 pieces of lumber in which I have drilled holes to fit the various size bottles. It keeps the glass protected.
I have several - one for each species.
Cost me nothing and works.

I have a tool bag I got from Walmart that has pockets on the inside and out. There is room for bigger bait jars inside the main compartment and room for my sifter and hammer.
