Could you describe them? I have never heard of butterworms.
I saw some guys using them in Chicago. They look something like a cross between a meal worm and a wax worm. I believe they're a moth larva. They'd be good bluegill/trout/catfish bait.
never heard of butter worms
I was able to get pics of the li'l critter...
Hope this works.

YAY '!!! It worked !!
Use them a lot for trout with good results. A bit pricey, though.
Well it seems the bluegills liked them but only hooked up with the peanuts of the bunch, nothing over 5", but was a learning experience for me...
I haven't used live bait since I was about 8 yrs old...:o
they are found in old rotting logs and such. Hard to get a bunch of em.
Butterworms are not native to the USA they are imported.Quote:

We have our USDA Permit( Approved ) to import and ship Teboworms in the USA. We believe that it is a good food source for the reptile industry. Easily shipped and stored, and with excellant nutritional content.
So I made a mistake, they sure look like what I find in logs around here. Thanks for clearing that up for us.Quote:
