One of the most popular fishing lures is the worm. This article will describe its types, give recommendations regarding storage. Various ways of properly fitting the worm onto the hook will also be provided. All this will allow you to ultimately get the maximum result from your fishing. Indeed, if not all, then a lot depends on the proper organization of the process.
Kinds
Before you put the worm on the hook correctly, you need to select its type in accordance with the potential catch. In appearance, such a bait is of two types:
- Brick red worm.
- Red-yellow worm.
In the first case, it is large in size. It can be divided into parts; large fish (carp, carp, and silver bream, for example) bite on it perfectly. But the second type is used for small fish. Best of all, minnows are caught on them. Both species are found in the soil. Their favorite place is manure. So it’s best to look for them there.
Storage
Not only the nozzle of the worm on the hook plays an important role in the fishing process, but also its preservation in its original state. Indeed, the intensity of the bite depends on its condition. The more he moves, the juicier he is, the greater the likelihood that a fish will pay attention to him. It is recommended to transport it in a plastic or metal container. At the same time, besides the bait, there should be a small
amount of soil. All this should be evenly distributed over the entire volume of the container. Necessarily all this together with the container should be wrapped in a damp cloth.
Put on
There are three ways to put a worm on a hook:
- One worm at intervals.
- A few worms in the form of a garland.
- One worm entirely on the hook.
In the first case, the bait, through certain sections of its body, is bent on a hook. If it is small, then two such punctures will be quite enough. But for large specimens, their number is best increased to 3-4. This method is applicable for catching fish such as silver bream, ram. The next method is that several of this kind of bait are strung one after the other one after another. Usually limited to 2-3 individuals. This method of stringing is best suited for large fish - carp for example. The last third option is to completely string the body of the bait from one end to the other. If necessary, this manipulation can be done even with a piece. So they catch small fish - minnows for example. Another important nuance of how to properly attach the worm to the hook is the mandatory availability of a free tip of the hook tip. If this is not the case, then the likelihood that the fish will “pull off” the bait or break during biting will increase significantly.
Summary
In the framework of this article, it was described how to correctly attach a worm to a hook in various cases. For small fish, solid pricking is best. But for carp it is recommended to use the so-called garland, when the bait consists of several worms. Based on the proposed recommendations, regardless of the situation, you can correctly wear the bait.
