Anyone here order worms online, I am going to order some mealworms in the next few months for crappie and trout, I will probably get some Super worms to. Local worms just cost to much hear and I can get hundreds for what 2dozen cost.
I haven't ordered any in 3-4 years, think I used that rainbow place but can't remember.anyone recommend where to get worms at or any other kind of worms they like.
Prices at rainbow re still decent, there out of superworms but I won't order until February probably.
uncle jim's
reds and/or crawlers
easy to breed in two nesting plastic tubs
I'll look up uncle Jim's, I always wanted to make a worm box but I always had good places to find enough worms but not where I'm living now.Quote:

I looked on YouTube and there's no videos I can find on using mealworms for crappie, t hats surprising they were one of my go to for catching them lol.Quote:

DO NOT ORDER FROM UNCLE JIM"S!!! You will be sorry if you do. I have ordered from them and I received red wigglers and blue worms. Blue worms are fragile and die easy. My order was contaminated with the blues. I have ordered from Bill Jacobson with Lakeshore Vermicomposting @ 920-905-1114 and was very pleased. Google his company. He sells red wigglers and European Night crawlers. I raise red wigglers for personal use and he was the best company that I have bought from. My $.02.
Thanks I'll check him out, the prices from uncle Jim's seemed high anyway. I've had good luck with rainbow mealworms.Quote:

The two bins I have now of red wigglers I actually stated by collecting them under logs, leaves, cardboard and whatever else got wet outside. Took about 9 months starting with maybe 200 to get large numbers but well worth it. They are really big and have been going strong for over 10 years. I think they have actually gotten bigger over time.
As for mealworms, last time I used them for bait I bought them from a local aquarium store. Were only $5 for 100 but that was many years ago.
