I use 25ml catering pots with hinged lids, so this means I can take loads, but I use hardly any during a session.

A medium Korda Compac cool bag full
To be fair, it does have a crusher and a 1/2 pint bait box in, too.

I mix all mine up so I don't have to carry too many pots
Colours sizes all in 1 pot but all the same flavour
If the wafters are barrels I will throw them in there too.

Too many and not enough ...like most I suspect.
These are 50ml pots (readily available on Ebay), they fit nicely inside a float tube for transport/ease of use, I had 2 tubes worth as back up/duplicate baits. Now I have 11 Trakker Shallow and a small Lock & Lock tube of test tubes with DNS sticks in and small strip seal bags with some extra bits.
May sound a lot but, Bottom, Wafter, Pop ups for 2 baits is 6, then there's other special hookbaits, another 2, and I can't remember the rest

Have a look at item number 295567942515 on ebay. Very similar to these. I put a sticker on the lid and write on what's in them.
Depending what size your hookbaits are, for standard barrel wafters, can get about 8 in a pot.
I've just put some round 13mm pop ups in some, you can get 7 in them.
Round 15mm or 16mm, you're looking at 4 or 5 in them.
If you use bigger hookbaits, say 18mm, you may want to consider the next size pots, but think these may have push on lids instead of hinged.

Currently take 3.
A Pot of SHB Bug CC's
A Pot of SHB 13mm CC's S3 Reds
A Pot of DNA Bug Half-Tone Wafters
Will delve into at least 2 of the pots (2 rod only rule) dip into the third if I feel a change is needed.
as for pots at home.....

I was carrying far too many. So I've had a good sort out and now I just carry too many.

Same, I cut back what i take, then recently realised I had 12 pots with me, no idea what I used to carry. I have duplicates of the same pots too, one pot in use then a spare pot.

2 small tubs, first contains my homemade hook baits, 2nd is Northern Specials mini's for colour/bit of buoyancy, that's it, if I don't catch it's not the baits fault.

Three tubs, pop-ups, wafters and hard hookers all the same flavuor and colour although I have loads of combinations of different companies hook baits like this at home 
I really need to have a good clear out as theres only one or two manufacturers combinations I really use these days.
