European Nightcrawler Worm as bait
You can catch more fish with this best live bait worm. Why?
The European Nightcrawler is truly an amazing earthworm. It's tough, durable, and active. This worm stays on the hook longer, stays active longer, and stays alive longer under water (even in brackish water) than any other worm. And fish like live, active worms, don't they?
These worms are bigger than the Red Worm, but smaller than the Canadian nightcrawler. One big advantage over the Canadian is the European nightcrawler requires no refrigeration

More european Night Crawler information:
The European nightcrawler is larger than the Red Worm but smaller than the Canadian nightcrawler (which can be TOO big), making them the ideal bait worm. They're also tougher, staying alive longer and much more active than other types of fishing worms. They are the only earthworm suitable for use as bait in brackish salt water.
European's are more heat tolerant than the Canadian nightcrawler, and more cold tolerant than the African nightcrawler. If kept at 70 degrees, European's will keep alive and healthy in the cup from three to five weeks. At 60 degrees, they'll keep even longer. In beds, they do well in temperatures ranging from 50 to 90 and can tolerate temperatures much higher or lower if their bedding is of the proper depth and moisture content.
