It’s unknown why this happens, but if you do store a damaged or broken worm with any other pristine conditioned worms, they will all die within hours, and you will have wasted all your time and effort. If any of the worms that you collect is damaged in any way, you MUST not keep it. It’s difficult to explain the amount of force that you need to use and the best method, but with practice you’ll master it really quickly. You’ll have to get hold of them and gently prize then from the burrows by pulling gently. You will be able to pick them off the grass and place them into your bait bucket.īut it’s not always that easy – some of the worms may only be protruding slightly from their burrows. A little time spent digging the garden borders will provide you with a handful of worms, but if you want a mass of them wait until there’s a very damp evening and head out to any park, cricket pitch or well-mown garden, armed with a torch, when it’s pitch black.īy carefully creeping along the grass you’ll find that the worms have come out of their burrows and will be wriggling across the grass to find a mate. The great thing about lobworms is that they are free for those anglers prepared to put in a little effort. A carefully presented lobworm, either floatfished over depth or legered tight to a marginal shelf or weed bed is sure to be taken by either of those species. The reason why they are so good in those conditions is because of the size of the bait – the fish can find it easily in the murky water.īut more importantly, the size and the wriggling action of lobworms makes them also impossible for perch and tench to resist. They are brilliant baits to use on rivers, when the rivers are high, flooded and coloured.
These giant worms are found in the soil of your garden. Their juicy protein-packed bodies are packed with goodness that gives the fish all the nourishment it needs, so it’s no wonder why the fish love them so much.
Good old garden lobworms, compost-loving redworms and the Dutch dendrobaena worms all make great fishing baits in certain circumstances.
