How to Hook a Live Bloodworm?

Earthworms and manure worms are used for freshwater fishing; bloodworms and sandworms are used in saltwater fishing. To hook worms on tiny hooks for small fish, cut the worm into pieces and thread one or more pieces onto the hook. To keep the bait from sliding off, push the point and barb into the end of the worm.

How do live bloodworms breed?

Raising bloodworms from eggs is the easy bit. Get some chironomid eggs and keep them in a container with some soil and manure. Add some water and store in a cool, dark place. Add a little manure each week and the eggs will eventually hatch into bloodworms.

What do bloodworms turn into?

Bloodworms grow and mature into midge flies 10-30 days after hatching, so monitor their growth and color carefully. Look out for worms that are turning from a bright pink to a deep red to catch them and use them before they hatch.
