Speaking of red worms, fishermen must know and are very familiar with them. At present, winter has entered the north, and red worms have become a “secret weapon” for fishermen to protect fish.Winter fishingthe advantages of red worms are obviously higher than those of earthworms, especially the effects of fishing for crucian carp are significant. Red worms are divided into big red worms and small red worms. Small red worms are generally used to make nests. Big red worms include male worms and female worms. Generally, the ones that we hook for bait are male worms. The red worms are dark red on the surface and large in size. The skin of the insects is relatively thick. After entering the water, the color is bright and the color is bright red. However, the skin is thinner and not easy to hook. Therefore, red worm bait is used for selection, use, and preservation in winter fishing.

Let’s first talk about the tips for red worms when fishing for bait. Red worm bait hooks may be very simple for some “old drivers”, but for novices and older anglers, red worm hooks are also a difficult problem. There are several ways to hook the red worm. One is to use a single hook. The tip of the hook is penetrated from the head of the male worm and out from the tail. In this way, you must use a thin and sharp fish hook. Be careful when hooking the hook and do not let the body fluids of the red worm flow out. Once it flows out, the red worm will turn into a thin skin, so you can’t use it anymore. The second method is to hook multiple red worms. You should also choose a fish hook with a slender hook tip, point down from the head of the male insect, pierce the hook one by one, and hang four or five at a time. At the same time, be careful not to let the red worm fluid flow out. The third method is to hang hooks in piles. There is a “magic weapon” called red worm clips, which are both convenient and can avoid contacting red worms directly with your hands. First, hang the rubber band on the hook, then use the red worm bait device to pass through the rubber band to clip the red worms, and finally hold the hook and line together, and the red worms can hang it on the hook. This method can directly avoid contacting red worms and save effort quickly. You can also use apples or potatoes to cut out a plane, place the red worm on the plane, pinch the hook handle with your hands, and prick the red worm downwards, and then hang it after a few pricks.

There are two special uses of red worm bait. One is the “roujiamo” made with commercial bait, and the other is to directly make red worms into pull bait. When making bait by red worms, first take about 4 taels of red worms and pour them into the bait basin, add silk brushing powder, and stir evenly. At this time, the red worm body becomes dry after being dipped in powder. Then pour some water in an appropriate amount, and then quickly knead it into a ball, and it can be used as bait. The one that pulls out is a red worm ball, which is particularly suitable for fishing for large-sized crucian carp. Although this usage is good, the amount of red worms is used and the cost is relatively high. The method of “roujiamo” is also very simple. The commercial bait is mixed in proportion, add an appropriate amount of red worms, and add water to quickly gather into a ball. The pulling effect is also very good. After continuous pulling of bait, the commercial bait will form an atomized area, which can quickly lure and gather fish. The red worms hanging on the fish hook can be used as fishing bait. This usage is particularly useful in winter and early spring. Red worms can also be used as nest materials. Some anglers like to directly place red worms or mixed with commercial nest materials to throw them into the fishing spots. I personally don’t like this method. The disadvantages are too obvious. First, the red worms are too scattered and it is difficult to gather fish. Second, too much commercial bait will have a counterproductive effect. I suggest that you spend less time and replenish them frequently. You can use red shellac. Before putting them, the red worms can gently crush them to make the red worm blood flow out. Frequently put them can gather the fish well. Fish are more timid and cautious in winter. Once frightened, it will be difficult to swim back, so you should be more careful when making nests in winter. In addition, although red worms are easy to use, they are also very easy to attract small fish. When the temperature is high, we still like to use earthworms.

Let’s talk about the red worm preservation techniques. Many anglers will have the problem of how to deal with the remaining red worms. It’s a pity to throw them away. I don’t know how to put them when I put them. In fact, red worms are easy to store. Put the remaining red worms in the red worm box and add an appropriate amount of water. The red worms are larvae of chiropractic mosquitoes. They are afraid of heat and cold. Just put them in the refrigerator’s fresh-keeping layer (assuming my wife agrees). Change the water once every two days and clean up the dead worms. This method can be stored for a long time. There is another method, gently wrap the red worms with moist gauze or towel to ensure that the red worms have a cool and humid environment. You can just put them in a cool place in winter, but the temperature should not be too low. The temperature below zero will easily freeze the red worms to death. This method can survive for two to three days even if there is no food!

Finally, let’s share some popular science. Some anglers may not dare to use red worms, worried that they will be infected after contacting red worms, causing physical discomfort. In fact, there are no cases of red worm infection. Most of them are rumors and have no practical basis. However, when using them, we should still pay attention to hygiene and wash our hands in time after use. The above are the techniques for using red worm bait I want to talk about. I wish you all big crucian carp!
