To be honest either use them quick or put them back over drink, they don't keep just die, tried "tanking" them and even with an air brick not successful

Just stick them in some Newspaper and pop then in the fridge winking

Can last for a fair few days, just make sure you remove any dead worm and keep an eye on the paper so that it doesnt get too damp.

cheers mrix..tried keeping them in soft damp peat , got five days out of them..........will try news paper next time..........problem is i have to travel miles to get bait whilst i only fish fairly localy..........so im allways looking for ways to keep bait alive.........seems cold fridge and frequent news paper changes is the way to go............

Its not the nicest method I guess and the wife might play up a bit laughing

But with temperature that low it does help stop the decay process winking

good luck

i find putting the worms in a bait box, (plastic) they keep better and longer! rag and lug
