Fishing Worms

The Dendrobaena worm is one of the most popular earth worms used for fishing. It is a particularly tough and wriggly worm which can survive in cold water for long periods, remaining tasty and tempting to fish. Dendrobaenas can be used in brackish waters; dabs, mullet and other estuary fish have been caught using this fishing worm. In fresh water this worm is a favourite of carp, tench, roach, perch and bream. During the summer months our largest fishing worms are very popular for salmon and sea trout fishing.

If no preference is specified, then a mix of worms for fishing will be sent to you. Our worms are of a good size in general, but if you would like really large fishing worms please let us know.

We sell our worms in a bucket for two main reasons: They don't get damaged in the post, reaching you in perfect condition. Secondly, fishermen like the convenience of receiving their live bait in a bucket containing bedding material that will sustain them for several weeks. Directions for keeping your live fishing worms in tiptop condition are printed on the back of the bucket.

For the fisherman who wants a day's worth of fishing worms we supply a quarter kilo tub of worms (approx. 100-150 large worms). Please note that if these worms are not used in a day or two it is advisable to transfer them into a larger container with more bedding for them to maintain their vigour and weight.

Note: weight of worms sold is clean worms only, not compost and worms together. We mix bedding material to worms after weighing.

If you live in our locality and wish to buy fishing worms, please contact us for special rates and to arrange a collection time.
