Basically, exactly what I do
I still have a need for divider though, where say white goes in with semi damp blacks (black food liquid over rolled). I've not seen the Fox pots, thought they'd be the same size as my Trakker ones I'm happy with, I'll have a look.

Here is the model of the divider, along with how it should look in the pot. Just waiting for the print to finish and I will post a couple more photos.

With taking limited standard sized pots of hookbaits to lakes, I always found myself thinking "wish I'd have bought so and so hookbait with me rather than it being sat in my bait cupboard at home."
I overcame this by buying 50 small plastic pots from ebay, they're about 3/4" diameter and 1" tall, with a hinged lid. I guess they are used for sauces and the like in the catering industry. You can fit between 6 & 10 hookbaits in each, dependant on shape and size. I distinguish between pop ups and wafters by putting some yellow insulating tape on the pots. Little labels stating what they are. Job done, you can take as many different hookbaits as you like. Last time I went, I took about 30 little tubs and this only filled about 25% of a standard 10L bait bucket, leaving plenty of room for liquids, bag mixes, freebies, etc.
The ones I got were similar to ebay item number 323242217007.
BTW Joe/JP, like the pot partitions, look really good.

Finished articles below. One of them decided it didnt want to print properly but its still functional.
Sorry for the delay getting back Joe, been driving about all morning. That completed one looks fab, just what I was thinking of, can't see me being the only one thinking it'd be handy
@Oatcakefred, I'm replacing a similar sort of thing. I used to use the very small square lock & lock before glug pots were a'thing', The pots below are great BUT some of the baits (DNA pop ups/fluoros etc) seem to have a highly volatile carrier, not sure what it is, alcohol maybe, either way the pots aren't airtight and everything starts to smell of the same thing. I'm not overly bothered about that more the flavour escaping if that makes sense.
I keep meaning to buy a punch to make my own seals for them but never got round to it despite having the seal material..life!
EDIT, those are 50ml pots, they fit nicely inside a float tube for transport/ease of use.

I'm happy to run off a load for anyone that wants them. Would just ask to cover postage costs and materials etc.

They look good Joe
@Vossy: Get the punch...and make me some seals that fit the Korda Infuzas please mate! My Infuzas dribbled glug since the day I bought them ... so they got thrown in a drawer in the garage and I've been sulking ever since!

I can't find a clear picture of the inside of the lid, does it have one of the thin single seals around the rim like Trakkers or is it a whole lid seal (can't see that)?
I must admit my thoughts had turned to replacement seals on the Trakker ones when they fail, typical me.
If I'm honest I'm not sure why I moved away from the small lock and lock, I keep most of my glugged bulk back ups in them.
I'm also not sure why Trakker made round glug pots to fit in a square bucket...make sense to anyone else
In the pic below you can see I also have a ridgemonkey bucket, I asked them why don't you make square glug pots and why not so they stack in the outer trays, their response, we can't see there being a demand...then they re invent the kettle as square...yeah right

Just thinking aloud K, if it is the thin strip seal around the edge it'll probably be square section silicone, glued together at the ends. If you can find the size of it you can order it on Ebay, something like this

Do you know what T, they're the ones, thank you They used to be sold in Tescos as a 6 pack, think it was £6, so they weren't Lock & Lock. My bigger reserve ones were L&L 805 & 815, I've got a bag of spares in the attic I looked at today (also use a bigger 1 to store my petrol stove, MSR Dragonfly). EDIT, if they're anything like the ones I have they're far better/heavier duty than any fishing branded ones, without the kudos tho.
This gives you some idea of why I started using them, spice storage, we eat a lot of Asian food, that rows 2 deep. I've been looking for some similar ones for a while as we use those spice pots so often some of the lugs after 15+ years of abuse have come away, to be expected.
