Worms
Reds are the smallest worms, followed by the medium sized dendrobaenas and brandlings. The largest variety is the lobworms. Fish tend to target the darker coloured heads of most worms, so impale the hook in this area, a little way back from the tip. Larger worms can also be cut into shorter segments. Worms are readily accepted and equally on the Float, Ledger or Feeder tackle. This is a truly all year round bait and one that will catch fish well in coloured water.
Worms are good activators, particularly when chopped up to release a strong scent. Pole anglers often cup Reds, Lobs and Dendrobaenas in.
Worm is an excellent cocktail bait that often pulls bonus bites when matched with baits like red maggot and casters. |
