King Rag

I've just received aload of King Rag, could you please advise the best way to store them and how long can I expect to keep them like this???

marshpike......go to shore angling q&a/forum and look up preserving lugworms, some good tips in there.

Those are Lugworm....
All I can say is when they are in your house/garage empty the packet into a small tub of seawater, as that's what they can live in...

You can keep rag for a long time in good condition if you do it right.
Whatever way you received them is probably sufficient if kept in a fridge to keep them for two weeks. I don't know what you class as a lot, but if it's enough then get yourself a large fridge and put cat litter trays in it and put the worms in that just barely covering them in seawater, change the water daily, you can keep them for months like this.

P.S.Forgot to mention, whatever way you keep them, check daily for dead worms and remove them, otherwise the whole lot will die.

as eoinmag said.

but make sure to keep your spare water in bottles it the fridge so it is at the same temp when you change it. :wink:

Good bit of advise there lads, good to know they will keep with a bit of effort.

What can you expect to target with Rag this time of year, nothing seems interested even though fish are feeding heavy on fish baits??

depands on where you are fishing is suppose i
but i find it good for the likes of flounder dabs and even dogs when they seem unwilling to take anything else
