Lugworm

[dazzer]

I'm out of touch with buying worms as I have only been using frozen baits since getting back into shore angling earlier this month.

How many Lugworm are in a pack now & what is the price of it?

Cheers.

Expect to pay about 80p to £1 for an ounce of lug. I have usually found that an ounce of lug will last about an hours fishing. On a a 5-6 hour session I would buy £6 of lug but I would always have frozen baits as well. (crab,mussel,squid,razor or mackerel)
Hope it helps.

Thanks for that.

Just been to sports & leisure in Blyth and bought £8 worth, counted them and there is 51 in the pack.
All are canny worms.

See how I get on tonight with them.

I'll be taking the fresh lug & frozen runnydown, squid, razor & mussel.

Blyth is usually £2 for 10, but obviously if they're a bit smaller then he puts more in, I've found them decidedly average the last few times from there to be honest.

Cheers Willy.

They are quite canny, not bad worms at all.

Hmm, they're certainly a lot better than the stamp of the last few I've had from him!

Good Luck Daz!!

I usually take a container and ask the shop to put a bit sea water in with the worms they keep better. Collect some fresh water and remove the dead ones if keeping any after a session.

Cheers Keith.

I always buy rag but a couple of weeks ago i was in nets with my mate Ian and he gave me a fiver towrads diesel for the motor. I decided to buy £7 worth of blow lug. There was nowt really doing but i was very impressed with the worm. When they popped they shrunk onto the hook and trace.

Ended up on Blyth pier and had it all to myself for a few hours, not a person in sight.

Only had one fish & that was a tiny codling, a fishfinger would have been bigger lol.
