wiggler size. Euros SHOULD be about 3" long, real thick, and really chunky looking.. basically about 50% longer and 3 times thicker than those. I'd take a pic of mine but its pouring down rain and I don't feel like getting wet to go to the worm bins LOL.
Those could be euros, just really small.. they are almost impossible to tell the difference for the average person.. sometimes euros are a little more darker and purple-ish on the top side. If you had wigglers and euros together, the wigglers will almost always take over.
Bad news.
The one on the top left with the spiky tail is a perionyx excavatus, aka blue worm. The others are red wigglers. You can still keep that bin for panfish worms.
Can you let us know who sold you the worms so we all know who to avoid purchasing worms from? Lots of shady characters in the worm biz.
They were sold to me as European night crawlers but this is about as big as they get even after all the new beds . I’m feeding laying crumble
Jim’s worms. I kinda thought they should be bigger than what they are. Not sure what to do now theses work pretty good just have to use 2 worms to the hook

I'll pm you a supplier that gives you exactly the worm you pay for- and honest weights too.
Thanks guys typical my kind of luck
Definitely not crawlers ! What r u fishing for that you have to use 2 worms for ! Or do u just like covering up the Hook!
I buy from speedy worm. They are the best bait dealer ive found. The euros i got from them were absolutely huge. Maggots are good, waxies were amazing, crawlers are great.. just a great place to do business with.
When i use wigglers i put 3-5 on a #6 hook. Big bluegills cant resist a wad of lively wigglers and it keeps the tiny ones away usuallyQuote:
