Not all trees will keep worms, I can't remember if its a male or female. I grew a tree years ago when I catfished all the time and once worms never came, I added them thinking they would take off, and in a day they were all gone. Google it, and you'll learn a lot of thinks that wouldn't normally cross your mind.Quote:

fly to learn to tie. Complicated. But they work just like the real ones. Good.

I know were a couple trees are but i cant remember them having worms.........dont know why...
My dad had a tree that never had worms for several years....then all of a sudden it got them, and generally has them two or three times a year.
My dad and i used to use them to bait trot lines with. They are killer for catfish.
Freeze them in coffee grounds stays fresh!!! Mark them in case the wife gets the wrong can!!!!!!
Biggest bluegill I ever caught I pinched off the head and turned the catawba worm inside out. I was 8 years old fishing in a lake off the river and I thought I had an eel. Caught him on a 12 ft. cane pole and boy did he pull. I've been hooked ever since. 1-Cove
A buddy of mine will drop them in boiling water for just a few seconds then dip them out and into water with ice cubes all over the top (ice cold water). He claims it makes them tougher. Straight out of the ice water into ziplock bags for the freezer. I have already had 3 of my trees stripped and the new leaves are starting to grow back. I have 2 more trees that havent had but a few. Funny thing is...back when I wanted taber worms I'd have to ride and look for trees that had 'em. Now I got trees and dont use 'em anymore. Go figure...:rolleyes:
