they sell worm boxes at bi-mart for about 5 bucks, they're plastic with a snap lid, and they have air vents so the worms won't kick the bucket, as quickly anyways. I have kept worms in the fridge for two weeks, haven't experimented beyond that. They sell worm bedding as well, it's basically recycled material, i keep it slightly moist and add the worms. You basically just want to keep them cool and moist, and you're good to go. I am forbidden from keeping bait in the fridge so I have a bait fridge/freezer in the garage and that's where they go to worm camp.
With adequate space, ample air and decent dirt, crawlers will hold for a couple of weeks easy if you keep them in a cool place and out of the sun. I sometimes shred some newspaper and mix it into the soil. I've even put a tablespoon or so of spent coffee grounds in with em. Since it rained this afternoon I went out just awhile ago for bit and picked a couple dozen which I won't be using until at least this coming Monday. They'll be good as gold when I'm ready to thread one on. And here's a thing you'll want to remember when fishing still water.......get yourself a hypodermic needle and stick that crawler in about three places after he's on your LIGHT hook and he'll float up into the lunker zone (say 18 - 22" of leader on a Carolina slip weight set up). Works well. Sent a 4.25 lb. largemouth into a frenzy the other day with just that set up. Give it a try!

Thanks, I spend enough time there that you'd think I'da seen them by now.
My garage fridgelet is usually stuffed to the gills* with beer.
* I'm trying to use more fisherman lingo in my daily conversations.
Thanks for the tips. Light hook means how small?
