Wiggly Wonders

Advantages: Free bait
Disadvantages: Expensive from tackle shops

...the last two are not worms but they are grubs. The bloodworm is the grub of the adult midge, and the mealworm the grub of the darkling beetle also known as the Flour Beetle, so I will not be reviewing these in any great detail.

...hand take hold of the worms head and gently pull.If you find the worm is a little slippy you should dip your fingers in some sand, this will allow you to hold it easily.
You have to be very gentle when you tease worms out because it's very easy to snap the worm in two, and a worm that is broken is a dead worm. Do not believe the stories about it turning into two worms, it simply isn't true. There are some kinds of worm that will regenerate ... more

How To Grow A Bait Worm.

Advantages: Variety of sizes, lively, fish like them.
Disadvantages: If you're too busy to get your own, you'll have to pay for some.

...and now I produce Dendra worms instead. These seem to be preferred now, as there is a huge choice of sizes and they last longer on the hook. Apparently you like to do unspeakable things to them, after which they make an excellent ground bait. I supply a private fishing club. The members have access to three lakes and a couple of farm ponds. Carp and Perch are the fish most regularly caught. I also sell to two local tackle shops. Club members ...
...lid is a tight fit. Worms are experts at escaping, especially while they are settling in. Bedding. I use 50/50 horse or sheep manure and cardboard, but a mixture of shredded newspaper, cardboard, leafmould or coir can be used. Whatever you choose the bedding must never be allowed to get very dry or very wet. A good test is to squeeze a handful. You should only be able to get a drop or two out. Too dry; add a little water. Too wet; add more dry stuff. ...

Big Sorrys To Clanmac4 and Moose

Advantages: Smelly for fish cos they're full of nice juices. Cheap too
Disadvantages: Crualty to worms???????

...the good things about using worms as bait. So no horrible comments please (unless you really do just think I’m pooh). I’m sure that whatever you want to say is actually totally correct as this is sick, BUT, in my line of business (match fishing), it is sometimes a necessary thing that must be done to WIN. And that’s usually what it’s all about. It’s a sick (wo)mans sport if you hadn’t already figured that out from ...
...(finally). _________________________________________ Worms are an attractive bait to FISH for a number of reasons: The wriggle about (as long as they’re not dead (poor little things!!)). Therefore, attracting attention to themselves. They look natural (unless there’s a 4/0 hook shoved up its ass) so fish are going to try and eat them without worrying about what they are (“Oh my God Billy!! What the flip is that?!?”). ...

The universal bait

Advantages: Can be used to catch virtually any freshwater fish, cheap to obtain
Disadvantages: Sticky fingers after handling them, can be awkward to get on the hook when they start wriggling.

...for years, before even the days of the "Mr Crabtree" stories by Bernard Venables...... and they still work now, so are definately a bait you shouldn't leave home without...... even if you were planning on using something else for bait, you should take a few worms with you as back-up. ...

Worms - A fisherman's friend

Advantages: A economical bait that WILL catch you fish whatever the season and weather.
Disadvantages: Lugworms are hard to come buy, try digging where you find 'casts' at low-water. And mind the PINCERS!

...much how big a part worms play in sea angling. To understand why worms are so important you need to understand why fish are attracted to worms in the first instance. Movement - The 'wiggle' that drives a lot of people to detest worms is the reason why fish like them so much, they are attracted by the wiggle of a worm, as they swim past they will investigate a movement. Scent - The worms that are used for sea angling have a strong scent, this will ...
...are two main type of worms used in Sea Angling (Although I have seen others used, to limited effect.) These are Ragworm (Red-brown in colour with pinchers hidden in the mouth.)and Lugworm (These come in white and black, although black is more common.) Ragworm is the most common and, I have found, the most effective. They are especially useful for Wrasse (All types), Sea Bass, Garfish and Pouting. To a lesser extent Mackerel and Cod. Lugworm give ...

Best leather shoe

Advantages: Hot
Disadvantages: Cold

I gonna tell you what i really liked about this shoes. When you put them on you it dosent take a long time to feel the foce in them. You dont feel them at all and thats very good for a shoe. I like leather shoes and i can easly say that this was the best leather shoe i have ever tried in my whole life. When you kick the ball you feel like its get some extra power. I cant tell you why im just feeling that way. Some things you can improve with them is the worm and heavy. You can make them a little bit colder inside by putting some extra holes in it. They are also a little bit to heavy but i think they have to be that. Thank you for a wonderful shoe. The best ive tried ...

Hardest Erection Ive ever Had !!

Advantages: Compact/ Lightweight/ Portable/ Smart/ Spacey for a 4 berth
Disadvantages: Erection time!/ Instructions/ Not suitable for young children

was free, I can't complain too much about it. Its compact and very portable. Once it's up, it looks smart and does the job it's designed for. It retails between £40 and £50 which is very good value. Personally before I go camping again I will be selling this tent and buying a bigger one as it doesn't suit my needs ideally, however that isn't to say it isnt any good. My one major gripe is the instructions. They were very poor which makes a tricky, fiddly job even trickier. And for this reason I have to take off a star. WormThatTurned 2009 ...

Review of Vango Alpha 400 Dome Tent

Squid cocktail

Advantages: Cheap (From fishmongers) Useful ingredient in bait 'cocktails'
Disadvantages: Expensive (From Fishmongers and supermarkets) no real use as a stand-alone bait.

the head and guts then us a size 1 or 1/0 hook, and don't bother with the worm. Do not use the head and guts tactic for float-fishing, about the only thing you'll get will be a cuttlefish (And have you ever tried hooking one of those little beggars?). I prefer the floating approach, especially as most of my fishing is done off a pier. To catch?: Squid are the prey of many fish, and most will pick up a piece floating gently in the water. Pollock find squid quite a delicacy, and 3-4lb fish are not rare on the Squid-worm cocktail. I have found that Mackerel tend to shy away from Squid, trying to add a sliver of Mackerel didn't improve matters. Bass are also keen to chew up a piece of prime invertebrate, so look out for a few bars of silver on the end of your line come June and July. ...
