These are the most common sold Tooty....My preference is the open one in the center....easier to use when you're on the fish.....you do experience a few escapees with this style.....
In a boat, I'd like the center one. As Jeff suggests, it is the ticket. However, when hiking the river trails, I go with the one on the right. It clips to my vest and is no worry, ready when I need it.
Someone needs to make a narrower version of the middle one, for us float tubers. That big one barely fits into my unzipped side pocket. I had the tall skinny one on my float tube and the bottom came off without me knowing about it. Well for a while... just until I felt crickets down inside my waders. Had them all over me in fact! But I kept fishing!
Hey , that looks like part of my collection,I also have red ones and green ones. I also have had problems with the bottom coming off on the tubes but I have solved that problem, now I keep a small roll of electrical tape in my vest that I tape the bottoms of the tubes on and no more loose crickets, simple fix. As for the cricket bucket, I have a couple that I rarely use because my big fat paws barely fit the opening, tight squeeze, I do use them to keep my unused crickets in that are left over from a trip and if I'm trying to save them for a trip to the pond at the park in the next couple of days. A piece of potato in there with them keeps them fresh but make shure you cover the opening ,not because they will get out but because I have had birds go through the opening and ate everyone of the crickets.

My favorite stunt is to throw a couple tubes of crickets into the car of newlyweds! Same effect as bugs in your waders.
