The isopropyl alcohol is the main ingredient in the dry gas that you buy to take moisture out of your gas tank, it pulls the moisture out of the minnows and that is how it preserves them. Give it a try with a few and i think you will be pleasantly surprised. Keep them on ice while fishing and put what's left back in the freezer or refrigerator and save for your next trip.
plus it makes the fish easier to catch when they get soused
