Re:Packaging worms for sale as bait in cups - 2008/03/01 07:37
Hi All! The best thing to sell worms in is peat moss dampened. The reason is the peat moss toughens and conditions the worms skin to be put on a hook. It should be done two to three days prior to offering for sale. Thus the worms are clean and ready for use. C. Morgans "Selling Guide" and R. Edwards "The Nightcrawler Manual". For fishing both suggested damp as bedding for selling. In cup containers, Peat moss should be presoaked 24-48 hours and pressed dry until a drop or two forms when hand squized. It is also suggested for the shipping median for red worms shipped via the mail. It is light holds lots of water and can be adjusted water wise for time and temp conditions. This information is for 1-2 weeks of keeping and storing the worms. Longer term keeping requires some different type of bedding and prep.
