Anyone have any experience with this product?
I am about to pull the trigger and buy it for my trip in June.

It won't be the primary container for the leeches, but I thought it might be a nice secondary for me to keep some up closer in the front of the canoe.

I have read reviews on Amazon and watched videos on Youtube.

Comes in 2 sizes and I think I will get the larger.

Haven't used them but they look nice. Beats having to toss the main container back and forth all day.

Looks a nice option to try. Post results once you have tested it out!

Many people have used a similar item in the past, but were called pickle containers where you pull up the handle and whatever (pickles) was in the container will come to the top. (I think Tupperware made them)
BUT, leeches will try to squeeze through any small hole and you may have a mess if they get into the slits.

I thought about one of those, then I just drilled several tiny holes in the lid of a Nalgene bottle and that has become my leech case. Now I have two lids on it, black for fishing and red for travel. Works great, all it cost me was $2 for a spare lid. Of course, I don’t have a fancy device to bring the bait to the surface like the bait up ones.

That's the same setup we use. Cheap and easy!
