Frequently asked questions
Which worm is best for fishing bait?
European nightcrawlers are a popular all-round choice: they are larger than red wigglers and stay active on the hook in cool water.
How do I keep bait worms alive?
Store them in damp bedding in a cool place, ideally 10–20 °C, out of direct sun. Never seal them in an airtight container.
Can I pick up bait worms the same day?
Many sellers offer local pickup. Filter by 'Local pickup only' and arrange a handover through in-app messages.
