w...t...f......  how long is it meant to take to bring them up?

 

It’s done on a few different continents with a variety of different implements

worms should start surfacing with in a minute

guys claim it works in Australia but it most popular in countries with moles that hunt underground

rainfall, barometer,  oncoming storms, recent rains and light levels are all supposed to play into the techniques effectiveness

I like the car battery :lol: 

Thanks Doobie. Yeah I did a bit of a deep dive on weird worm catching methods. 
 

there was a product recall in the USA after 30 deaths. People were dying for worms by plugging these device directly into mains power

a car battery sounds like a much saner option

There really are some stupid people in this world :lol: 

Yeah that would be one tool where it’s really worth reading the instructions😉

from my brief reading, people carrying them around while plugged in and walking around the prongs while live, weren’t the best ideas
