Nightcrawlers
Ballpark, not a live price
The bait that catches everything that swims in fresh water. A piece on a hook under a float will out-fish most lures on a slow day.
What it's for
Thread a whole worm on hook, fish it stationary after dark
Thread a small piece on the hook for a bigger, meatier bite
Drift under split shot in deep pools and current breaks
Fish on bottom near rock crevices and undercut banks
Thread on hook, drop straight into brush piles and stumps
Whole crawler on a hook fished slow on bottom at dusk
Thread a small piece on a hook and drift naturally downstream
Thread on hair rig or hook, carp love the smell and wriggle
Thread a piece on the hook and drift it along rocky bottoms
Thread a whole worm on the hook and let it sit on bottom
Drift a piece on a bait hook through deep pools with split shot
Thread a whole crawler on bottom, drum love worms
