rag worm, and dont laugh.

[will90]

im expecting people to extract the urine out of me here but stuff it.
ive heard the nip off a rag worm hurts lol, and can make you bleed like you live on asprin. been fishing just over a year, and never used them without someone hooking them for me or me cutting their heads off. this is due to the storys i have heard about the bites or nips hurt. im not soft, but just like a wasp sting, you dont know what its like til it happens. so does it hurt or not. CAN TAKE PEOPLE TAKING THE MICK SO DONT WORRY LOL.

i bet im not the only angler (or self claimed angler) who doesnt use rag because they are reluctant.

[lingking]

they can nip a wee bit mate,but nowt ya gonna have to send for a paramedic for

[toonboymc]

its 1 of the worst pains ive ever had not joking either its like getting bit off a snake but worse

[will90]

i once tempted a mate to a fiver, by telling him to let a rag bite him. he wouldnt. thats what makes me think lol i had them the last time i night fished tynemouth pier, i put one on the wall just before getting a mate to hook it, could hear its pincer scraping off the stone !

i might be tempted for £100 but then again my mate lost a finger off a king rag m8

[will90]

if this is true, im sticking with fresh lug and runnydown for worms lol

[Nooo Fish]

I've never been bit but my mates dad told me its the shock of getting nipped that gets you but it doesn't hurt.

Just make sure you pick it up at the head and you'll be ok.

[will90]

and hook it straight through the head ? thats what ive been told to do, but its the thought of threading them on the hook, thats when i worry lol tempted to let one bight me, cant hurt any more hooking yourself with a 8/0 lol

[Stewart 1971]

How would you react if someone was trying to stick a bloody great hook through your head then down out of your backside? And on the plus side, if the worm is trying to nip you then at least you know it is nice and fresh

And if you are really that bothered just use a baiting needle, makes baiting up a doddle especially with big worm baits

[Wiz]

They don't hurt at all, the only time you'll usually get nipped off one is if you've got one in your hand and you get distracted and forget it's there

[big phil 123]

It doesnt hurt mate and to be honest they dont nip you that often hurt alot less than when a crab gets ya finger end lol

[will90]

@stewart, i wouldnt be happy, obviously. but i was just wondering how much if at all, it hurts. what are these baiting needles, still new to fishing, tell me more please

[will90]

cheers wiz, and big phil, you should have seen me with the last lot of peeler, lol. me mate said they wont nip because they are quite docile and are peeling, but defo not keen on peeling crab.

Put them in a really cold fridge keeps them docile. Its ok used to fish with a lad who used to wear gloves and cut the heads of ragworm and to peel a crab used to use scissors wouldnt touch a fish needless to say dont fish with him now lol
