As a angler there is nothing better than free or home collected/cooked bait (for me)

I am thinking of when i head down to kent for a short break wether i should dig some lugworms, put em in the freezer and use em back here in the Midlands at some local fisheries.

Does this sound good.

I was thinking all the lugs juices are surly gona get the fish going.. r they????

Thanks

Well some one has to pioneer new baits and its all ways best to be the leader and not just follow in others foot steps.

 

If it works you could reap the rewards before every one else starts copying your new bait.

 

I often wonder who was the first person to use sweet corn or other baits back in the day and why they thought it would work.

 

Good luck if you give it a go.

They look like bootlaces afterwards. You are probably as likely to catch with bootlaces as you would with these....

I dont see why Lugworm would not work, mussels work well for both carp and chub and they are certainly not a 'natural' bait. The problem I see is in the frozen part as they just become limp and not very presentable. If you were to use live lug then I think you could be onto a winner as they do ooze a lot of smell and I have caught a lot of sea fish on them and they must home in on the smell of the lug. Going to Eastbourne this weekend and I am now inspired to pick some up and take them tench/carp fishing on the bank holiday monday!

I've never heard of anyone using lugs in fresh water, so I will be very interesting to see how you get on.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Been tried before - I know a bloke who catches stacks of big eels (to over 6 lb) from gravel pits on ragworm and/or black lug.

 

Conversely, if desperate for seafishing bait, then lobworms aren't bad :o

Hi Chub Frenzy

 

Black lugworm freeze very well indeed. After gutting and freezing they resemble long strands of tar. They are a very good tipping off bait when sea fishing if the bites are a little slow. Well worth a try.

 

Ragworm do not freeze well.

 

 

My brother used some left over live king ragworm to good effect a few years ago. As I seem to remember, they were particularly effective for tench and the bigger perch.

 

We keep meaning to give peeler crab a go.
