BAIT WORMS
BAIT WORMS FOR FRESH
AND SALT WATER FISHING
By Ken Liebeskind

When it comes to bait worms, the common earthworm is one species to use, because it can be dug up in the garden and you can find them yourself. Bait worms available commercially include European or Canadian night crawlers, which are the best bait worms for fishing because they tolerate near freezing water and are suitable for salt water fishing. They are usually three to four inches long but can be as large as seven inches.

Night crawlers are the most popular bait worms for fishing. Red wigglers, Euro driftworms and waxworms are also used for fresh water fishing.
If you use bait worms you should keep them cool, which means refrigerating them at temps between 38 and 42 degrees F.
If it's too much trouble to keep live worms cool, you can fish with synthetic worms that work extremely well, especially for bass. www.scientificfishing.com, renowned for its life like lures, offers the Walking Worm, which moves continuously like a live worm. The Walking Worm is extremely popular with bass anglers, including the pros (international bass champ John Fox uses the Walking Worm in tournaments where he caught 15 and 19 pound monster bass). The Walking Worm is based on patented technology that traps air between tail segments, which causes the continuous movement, even when the lure hits bottom. |
