Buying live worms?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone used Catchall Crawlers?

Just thinking if they are as good as they state then they are good as beach worms etc.

The beach/sand worms are expensive for a 'couple' of them, but the Crawlers are still expensive ... but how many do you get in a tub?

If you get a dozen for $10 compared to say $10 for a couple of beach worms, maybe they are the way to go.

I don't know ... just putting it out there.

When i was working in the Tackle Shop a little while ago a customer purchased a packet and headed down to the onk. 

couple hours later he came back with a photo of him holding a an 115cm mully he caught in the first 20mins of fishing. 

Was his 1st ever mully too.

Have seen people use them in the salt but have been more productive in the freshwater then then the saltwater

Tried those Catchall Crawlers this morning.

They were biggish/thickish worms, look like a tiger worm and stayed on hook well enough.

Advertised to work well in freshwater and saltwater - I didn't find them that good unfortunately.

After retrieving the line after say 5 minutes in the saltwater, they looked dead.  I have tried tiger worms in the past in the saltwater (as a test to see how long they would last) and these C/Crawlers reminded me of them. 

Maybe they may work better in freshwater - would I buy again ....no.

I bought live worms, they seemed to be good but I did not catch any fish :(  

It is annoying, especially when you feel you have the No. 1 bait to use.

Think it is my fault not the worms fault. 

Neither  .... it's the fishes fault I reckon lol.

      How my times have you taken a bag of cockles out for a session to then re-freeze most? Get them out for another trip and then repeat the process, only to find they have become the consistency of snot and fall of the hook?
       
      Sure you could use them for burley or even chuck 'em in the bin. However with a bit of time and a bag of salt you can salt your own to further use as bait.
       
      Why would you? They are much tougher holding on the hook more effectively, don't slime your fingers up and will last several re-freezes well. Plus you save a bit of money (cockles aren't cheap these days) and less wastage. They 'rehydrate' pretty quickly, so the fish don't seem to mind either.
       
      1. Empty the cockles on to bunch of newspaper and leave to drain for a couple of hours (I do it on the laundry floor, depends on the temperature, flys, dogs, missus ect)

       
      2. Pull the 'meat' out of the shells and spread them out on fresh newspaper. Leave for a couple of hrs again.

       
      3. Pour granulated salt on fresh newspaper and roll the cockles until they are roughly coated and spread them out evenly and leave for several hours or overnight. This may take 1/2 to 1 cup or more salt. (im also trialing salted bloodworm in this pic, from last year's 'metho-ed' supply)

       
      I use a granulated salt as opposed to a fine cooking salt or cheap pool salt.

       
      4. Repeat 3 a couple of more times, with a couple of tablespoons of salt and leave for an hour or so.

       
      5. By now they should be moist but firm, like a supple piece of leather. Either bag them up and freeze or dry them out further by spreading out on a tray and leaving uncovered in a frost-free freezer for a week or so and then bag up. Good luck with the latter, if the only frost-free one is in the kitchen (like mine)!
