Was just standing in the queue at sports direct and noticed on a stand next to the till the exact same product, without the case mind, for £1.50. Says Everlast on them but they do the same job!

Plastic peanut butter tubs from the likes of Aldi's. Once you've eaten the peanut butter or turned it into boiles, you get a free glug pot, or popup pot.

I have 4 of the Fox Glug pots, they have a rubber seal, robust and a cage so you can lift the bait out of the glug with. I keep two in each of my Gardner bait baits. I've had these for 7-8 years and I don't worry about potential leaks they have been great.

Personally, having used the ones oldgezza is suggesting I'd recommend that you should be gentle with them, I'd prefer not to have to clean up the mess.

The thread on the red lidded pots is shallow and doesn't form a particularly good seal.

These may be ok https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250ml-Strong-plastic-storage-containers-jars-tubs-pots-clear-lid-10-20-30-40-/302996392012?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Zack's post
Another good thing to use for a glug pot is Specimen Bottles, the small plastic ones with a screw top, with a capacity of about 50 - 100 mils. They are very leakproof and very secure tops. They are not big, but big enough to hold a good amount of particles for hookbaits or about a dozen or more glugged boilies for hookbaits to last a weekend or week.

I only discovered them when I had to give a urine sample in hospital and in the cubicle was a big box full of them. As I was on my own, instantly I recognised a purpose for them in fishing and filled my pockets, and then filled one with a sample so I got my priorities right.

Some of the plastic containers manufacturers that occasionally get a link to in the forums normally have them listed amongst their products.

I did see the ones I have on Ebay, but I cannot see them now, maybe inputting the wrong name to search for. But I did buy some red toped ones with a 60 ml capacity and they are perfect for particles for hookbaits and small enough to fit a few in your pockets for stalking etc. These are the ones that I got but if I recall it was a UK website:-

60ml Plastic Specimen Sample Jar Craft Container Urine Pot Cup W/ Lid

Bloody hell, that Ebay address must hold a record in the Guiness book of records for being the biggest!!!
