We use the small shiner buckets, the ones you can by for $2.99 and drill holes in the bottom, run a band of electrical tape around the cover as insurance. You can also use a small section of clothes line rope and wear it over your shoulder. Where we fish we are not wading much and just set it down behind us and every now and then dunk the whole thing in the water and the eels stay fine just do not forget the drain holes!I have used just about everthing and these little buckets are great, old mayonasise jars works well also.
Sometimes I use a mesh divers bag tied off to my wader belt however, its difficult to change baits while in the water there so slippery you can not get hold of them so, I keep two pot scrubber pads tucked away in my waders to grab the eels and usually walk out of the surf to change baits...........
