I do not like using the gulp alive containers. What containers do you find best for keeping gulp and the gulp juice?

I make out best at Bed Bath & Beyond . No mater what I try it always leaks over time. So a one or two gallon size zip lock bag as a liner is a MUST. Personally I like the wide, short, round canisters with the snap tight sealing lids. They do not tip over while at sea and are easy to get into and out of. The liner is a nuisance but it is a matter of when rather than if before I regret not using it. Time after time. Gulp gravy is like blue fish fillets, NASTY STUFF!

Whatever screw top container you use, put a couple of turns of teflon tape around it and you will not have leaks, I use the gulp wide mouth jar. Just add the tape and no more spills.

$6 at Wally World. When you flip the lever it seals like mason jar and the opening is big enough to get your hand in. Won't leak

I use a pretzel jug, it doesn't leak but after falling over with the cap opening in my jeep in 2013 I keep the jug in a bucket... No problems since

Don't want to say how much Gulp I buy,use,store.
While I see many use the larger gulp containers on board that they put all their gulp into one, I no longer do that, several reasons.
I keep the large containers at home, or if road trip, in other cooler in the truck.
I take out to fish each trip the following,
2 heavy quart zip bags, add some juice from large container if you have it.
Bag 1, NEW gulp ONLY with some juice from large container.
Bag 2, for used, recharging used gulp, with some juice.
No matter what I have bought, rubber sealed containers for gulp, everything leaks.
So I keep the bags in a (laff all you want) a old short fat pickle jar...
Because, the lids have rubber seals so the pickle juice wont leak, we know how great that smells leaked out, old, etc.
I will NOT EVER AGAIN, Ever, put a used gulp into even a large gulp container, they will have some bacteria and will eventually wreck everything in the container, bag, whatever. That is what the second used bag is for, used gulp only.
The gulp juice will eventually have a reaction to their own bags exterior, etc.

I can't carry that much gulp Joe. My bank account doesn't allow for it.

Think I am going to have to get one of those myself. Been walking the beach a bit fluking and the containers I have been using are failing miserably.

Agree w/ you 100% Bob. I use a snap-lid Sterilite container, maybe a quart-or two-quart size,wrapped in a gallon size zip lock bag inside my tackle bag. Ask me how I know to use a zip-lock liner. :)
The Sterilite food container(s) I can get for reasonable $ at Shop-Rite or Walmart. Must be the snap-lid sealed kind.
Friends use those Plano lidded jars too. I may try those but Sterilites are more wallet friendly Mike.
Tight lines all,

The Plano container is the way to go if you have to open/close while holding the jar. There's a tall lip where you screw down the lid and you can fill the liquid almost all the way to the top w/o fear of spilling.
I've used the lock'n'lock containers and they work well (no leaks), BUT if you have the liquid anywhere near full, you need to set it down on a flat surface to open. A cup's worth of Gulp juice down your shorts and shoes is no fun...

I tried the teflon tape trick on my Gulp containers and it works. Good, cheap solution so far.

Someone brought one of these on my boat the other day and was pretty slick. It fit two maybe three of those containers in there...
