Thread: How do you put red wigglers in your hook?

Well I may just have to break down and order some European redworms and African nightcrawlers so I don't have to deal with these tiny worms unless I want to.

Mealworms are an option but a pain in the neck at times. Might have to try the 5 gallon bucket method so I dont have to sort them as often or maybe a larger storage conatiner than a shoe box. Especially if I am gonna use them as bait on a regular basis.

I grew up raising and fishing with the redworms.......keep your worm box covered with wet burlap.....and keep it wet.....sprinkle corn meal and coffee grinds on top of the dirt.......burlap on top

for hooking them up.....hook them in the middle with just the bottom of the hook......do not thread them up the hook........that lets both ends wiggle...very important to keep the point of the hook covered.....if you don't, they will not bite it......one of the best baits there is.....catch bream, sacs, catfish and bass......any questions...holler back....

have you fished much in your life? at 5 years old i didn't have a problem baiting my own hook. i'm sure your kids/grandkids can even if you can't.

i put the hook through about a 1/4 inch from the end of the worm and kind of loop the worm a little and put it through the hook again and keep doing it till the worm is through the hook three or 4 times. i saw someone say hook it middleways throught the hook so that both ends can wiggle, i think thats just giving a fish a worm, all they are gonna do is bit one end that is wigglin and take the worm. if your using 4 inch redworms, that means you will have 2 inches hangin over each side of the hook, when the fish hit it, the hook is nowhere even close to the fishs mouth. just hook the worm 3 or 4 times and its done.

Hold worm between thumb and index finger. Thread a piece on as long as the hook. Break off the rest and catch 3 or 4 bream before having to re-bait.
