CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What kind of food do red worms eat to make them good for fishing?

1. What kind of feed is best for red worms?

Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the silt and like to eat sweet and sour fish bait. If they are in professional farms, they also eat feed fermented from raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, and pigeon manure.

2. What kind of bait do red worms eat?

Bloodworms mainly feed on organic debris in the mud, and particularly like sweet and sour bait. Livestock and poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from processed agricultural and sideline products are their main sources of bait.

Bloodworms live in the mud on the banks of rivers or at the bottom of rivers. They are densely packed on the surface of the mud, with one end fixed in the mud and the other end sticking out of the mud and trembling in the water. If disturbed, they will immediately retract into the mud. The nutritional value of water earthworms is extremely high. They should be rinsed repeatedly in clean water before feeding. They are a favorite bait for goldfish and koi, and are also the main bait for eel fry and young turtles.

3. What do red worms eat?

Answer: (1) Red worms feed mainly on organic debris in the mud and love to eat bait with a sweet and sour taste. Their main sources of bait are poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from agricultural and sideline product processing.

(2) In professional breeding farms, raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, and pigeon manure are generally fermented first and then made into feed for red worms.

4. What kind of bait should be used for red worm fishing?

When the weather is cold, red worms are the most effective when fishing crucian carp, because crucian carp and carp like to eat food with relatively high fat content when the weather is cold. Sometimes red worms are used as bait. The nesting materials are grains, which are matched with sweet fragrance. Then add a little red worms to the nesting materials and make a nest. The nesting materials are very important and can directly attract fish. The musk bottom nest is matched with commercial baits with pure grains and strawberry flavor, and then some rice wine is added. It is necessary to replenish the nest frequently. For black pit fishing, small medicines need to be added to the bait to increase the effect of attracting fish. This is also very important. Using the right small medicines directly affects the fish catch. In the past two years, it has been popular here to use the small medicine package produced by Yipinyuanyou for fishing crucian carp and carp. The combination of Heikeng Weiwu, King's Temptation and Extreme King of Kings is added to the bait to attract fish. The taste has a very special sweet fragrance, but the price is not low. It is necessary to replenish the nest frequently when fishing crucian carp, and the line group should be matched thinner to ensure sensitivity. I wish you good luck and hope the answer is of some help to you.

5. What should I pair with red worms to catch carp in winter?

Red worms are a good bait for fishing in winter. When fishing for crucian carp, carp, and black carp in winter, using red worms as bait has good results. Let's talk about what bait to match with red worms to achieve better fishing results and be more convenient and quick.

First, add some clean water to the red worms, just a little bit is enough, the main purpose of adding clean water is to moisten the red worms. Then add the red worm companion, quickly stir evenly, and make red worm bait. The advantage of red worm bait is that it is faster to bait, and the red worms that fall off at the fishing point also play a role in attracting fish, so that fish can be caught faster.

Second, add red worms to fishy-smelling dough bait, use 60% dough bait + 40% red worms, first mix the dough bait quickly and evenly according to a 1:1 bait-to-water ratio, then put the moist red worms into the mixed dough bait, let it sit for 5 minutes, then roll the bait into a ball. This kind of red worm and dough bait can be rubbed or pulled, which is more effective than using red worms alone.

6. How to breed red worms for fishing?

There is a fishing proverb that says: "Use earthworms in spring, noodles in summer, and red worms are the first choice in winter." In autumn and winter, the weather becomes cooler, which is a good time for fishing. Red worms are undoubtedly the first choice for seasonal bait. However, many people think that it is troublesome to buy red worms every time they go fishing. So, can we raise some red worms ourselves? Today we will learn how to raise red worms.

1. Red worm collection

Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow water flow, and the water depth is generally about 0.5 meters. Every year in late spring and early autumn, it is the season for red worms to reproduce in large numbers. Red worms float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red, and people can easily find them. Red worms can be collected all year round in southern my country, and they are easier to collect in spring and autumn. Before collecting, prepare the collection net and cover the net mouth with a layer of plastic green yarn. The mesh of the green yarn is just enough for the red worms to pass through. In this way, when collecting, it can prevent water plants and other debris from entering the net.

2. Container selection

It is best to use a container with a larger area in contact with the air, because the red worms will float to the water surface and make breathing-like movements, so if there are too many of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die.

3. Change the water

When breeding a small number of bloodworms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the bloodworms and put them in a basin or glass container. It is best to soak them with river water. If you use tap water for breeding, you should dry the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance to remove impurities. Change the water every other day.

4. Rinse

First, you need to wash the basin. Every time you change the water, after pouring the insects into the sieve, you need to clean the basin with clean water. At this time, there will be some sticky mucus on the basin, which makes it sticky. Wash all of this off and rinse the basin clean. Second, you need to wash the insects. Take some water from the basin and rinse the insects in the sieve with water to wash off the mucus and dirt on the insects.

5. Feeding

Specialized farms mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed. For home-breeding red worms, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but the amount must be controlled.

6. Harvesting and storage

When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected in time and dried for storage. You can wash the red worms and put them in a wet cloth, then put them in a clean disposable lunch box and put them in a dark and ventilated place at home (shady balcony). Basically, you can take them out every one or two days to rinse them with water and sieve out dead worms, and you can keep them for a month or so.

Many anglers like to use blood worms as bait. Instead of buying bait every time, it is better to raise some at home and use them whenever you want to go fishing.

7. How to prepare red worms as bait?

Adding red worms is the most convenient. Just add red worms to the dry loose nest material and gently scatter them with five fingers. When making a nest with scattered bait, cast the rod for 7-8 minutes.

2. Red worm meat bun, first wash the red worms twice with river water, try to use fresh red worms. Add water to the red worms according to the normal bait-water ratio, add bait while shaking, then quickly stir with five fingers open. Close into a ball and it's done!

3. Red worm bait, I usually open it frequently in small quantities. First, spread the clean and fresh red worms in the bait plate, and evenly sprinkle a layer of red worm companion. Shake the bait plate a few times, then evenly sprinkle another layer, shake it again, and let it stand for three to five minutes. I usually spread it flat on the full magnetic bait plate and use the scraping method.

4. If you have white radish, cut a 1cm thick slice and put the red worm on it. This time I picked up a piece of cabbage root directly on the dock, pierced it with a fishhook and pulled along the slice.

8. How to mix red worms with bait?

The first method is to directly hang the bait. This method needs no explanation. It is just like hanging earthworms, except that you don’t need to cut them, just hang them directly. However, it should be noted that the vitality of bloodworms is not as good as that of earthworms, and you need to use a thin hook to hang them, and try to keep the underwater activity of bloodworms. Therefore, the disadvantages of this method are that it is difficult to hang, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and inefficient, and the bait is light after being put into the water.

The second method is to use a red worm clamp. A red worm clamp is a tool specifically designed to catch red worms. Before using it, you must put a rubber band on the clamp.

Then pick up the red worm ball, adjust the bait ball to the appropriate size, then remove the rubber band tied with the red worm, and hang it directly on the hook. This method is efficient and can keep the red worm active. The disadvantage is that the red worm is used up a little too quickly.

The third type is mixed red worm bait. Red worms are mixed with other baits to make bait. The most common one is "Meat-filled buns", which are the combination of red worms, big fishy baits, and silk powder. There is "bun" commercial bait on the outside and "meat" red worms on the inside. They are gathered into a large ball and can be used as fishing bait. The biggest advantage of this method is that it adds the efficacy of commercial baits and the activity of red worms can be kept full. The disadvantage is that the ingredients are a bit troublesome and expensive.
