I've never tried them, but a similar question was asked on another site.
Allegedly,(!) they are a good bait in estuaries for flatties,bass and especially eels.
They have apparently been successful in the lower reaches of the Thames.
I s'pose if there's a situation where earthworms regulaly get washed downriver, then fish will eat 'em.

I have caught eels and flatties on them years ago in the upper reaches of the Blackwater at Maldon. Only thing is they get kinda bleached/washed out looking. Saying that I suppose I would if I laid in there for half an hour...  |

Just a thought here, would they work better if soaked in bait oil? |

lobworms are waht you want they can grow to the same size as medium sized rag and are a great bait IMO. i have caught many species but never a whity on them... :roll: |
