So you want to go fishing and you need a bait? Well think about what you are fishing for and where you are fishing. Worms might just be the answer!
Freshwater ---------- If you are trying the local canal,River or lake and you want to get something out, Worms are always a good bet. Smaller fish tend to shy away but you can land some hefty size fish, depending on the time of year.
Lakes ----- Lake fishing in early summer on the bottom with a ledger will attract some interest from Tench. If there is Tench in the lake, Summertime is about the only time you get these good fighting fish to bite. Worms are a good bait to use. Dont worry about Carp. They wont take worms. Smaller Crucians might but larger ones wont take it. Its not filling enough!
Rivers ------ You can always attract some nice Roach all year round in the river with Worms. In Winter I used to use smelly Danish Blue Cheesy as it got them biting more but the rest of the year you can hook a few out. If you can get them interested, River Bream will even take it. The fish you really want to hook on a worm in the river is a Chub. These big fish will give you one hell of a fight if you get them on worm. When they are feeding on Live food they are at their most active and will really make you earn your catch. Game fish will even take a worm. I have caught a Brown Trout on worm.
Good points ----------- Worms can be dug up anywhere in the garden if you have one. Go for a selection of sizes if you can. Best to dig them just after a rain storm when they are close to the surface. Digging yourself means the worms are free. You could even set up your own wormery. They are attractive to most fish so a catch is normally assured with worms.
Bad points ---------- Being terrestrial creatures, they dont really like water. They will wriggle for a few minutes underwater but will eventually drown. A dead bait does not move much so you wont get many takers! While they are wriggling, they will often wriggle clean off the hook. Not useful. Digging is also time consuming. A real pain if you have to go out and find them yourself.
Other uses ---------- There are 2 other types of worm in use other than garden ones. They are both used in sea fishing. Ragworms look like hairy red centipedes with lots of legs and a pair of pincers. They wont think twice about nipping you either. good for fisking on the pier and they are good for hooking middle swimming fish. Lugworms are the ones that leave the "mr whippy" sand marks on the beach. These are good for beach casting and for hooking flat fish.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
(+) Cheap to do when done correctly, good results. (-) FEAR FACTOR - You will look silly if you do it without results. Difficult to carry a large amount.
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!

Review of Squid
Advantages: cheaper and more effective than commercial groundbaits. Disadvantages: The only disadvantage I find, is that you have to make it your self.
