Storing gulp baits

Apologies if this has been covered already, but I didn’t find anything with the search. How is everyone storing their gulp baits? The bags always seem to leak. I have 6 bags of various saltwater baits in a freezer bag right now, and that bag is now full of stinky gulp juice. I pulled every bag out and cleaned them, checked for holes and leaks, made sure the zippers were closed, put them in a new freezer bag, and now that second bag is full of stinky gulp juice. Any secrets I’m not aware of?

I have a Plano bait locker that i store all the bags in. Has a rubber gasket on underside of lid and latches that really crank it down. That keeps the juice/stink in.
But when i’m surf fishing, i’ll grab the smallest tupperware we have and throw a handful of baits in there. Fits in the fanny pack real nice.

Well, I'm going to BassPro this weekend so if they have it I know what I'm buying! Thank you!

Pretty much any thing you use will leak after awhile if you are using it on the sand... Sand will destroy any seal you have and make the bait container leak... I use old prescription pill bottles, and after a couple of uses toss out in favor of a new one... They don't leak, a bottle will hold 1 pack of gulp worms, are compact and are free (I'm an old geezer and have plenty of prescription bottles
).. If you don't get the bottles, ask a friend or family member to save some for you.... I flip the lid over (reversible) and use the child proof device on the side to attach a small leash attached to my fishing vest..
