Fishing Bait
One of the worms most common uses is as fishing bait. The worm has evolved over the years into a very helpful aid to fishermen, without doubt the humble worm is at the top of the pile as an all-round fishing bait, it’s only serious competition being the maggot. A worm has the advantage here when it comes to tempting fish of a wide range and size, it seals its own fate and your satisfaction by wriggling to attract the fish.
Dendrobaena Worms
Dendrobaena's can be kept for weeks with a little care. Obviously keep them somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, but more importantly don't expose them to sudden temperature changes. They'll keep through the coldest weather by just standing the bucket on a plank of wood (or thick newspaper) on the shed or garage floor, but if you brought them into a warm room overnight to help with an early morning start you could find them all dead a few days later. They can stand it quite cold or quite warm, but a rapid change from one to the other is fatal. If you open the bucket one day to find many of the worms on top, that means they're hungry. Feed them a teaspoonful of mashed potato, just dropped into the bucket. Replace when it's gone, but only when the worms come up to the top to ask for more. Treated like this, they'll keep for a long time. In fact, with a little care you can grow them on from small to very large. Besides keeping them supplied with the potato, top up their containers with handfuls from a Tomato Grow-bag, which is in fact mainly peat. Also make sure you keep them really moist, by spraying water over the peat regularly. Just go to our order form and you can have quality worms always available, which will give you a big advantage.
Dendrobaenas may be the new kid on the block, but they've certainly become the first choice worm.THE WAY FORWARD I recommend this Worm to any angler -- results can be dramatic.
