Lugworms !!

#1 Post by flyno »

Hi lads/ladies, just a quick question on lugworms. i have seen that some people say lugworms should be gutted, some say not. Can anyone tell me the difference. Reason i ask is that even in todays T.S.F magazine there was an article and they talked about using lugworms that were gutted. Cheers...

A quick answer is blow lug are no good,black lug are the ones that freeze the best,the frozen black lug that you can buy in a tackle shop,are a very good bait for some species.

As far as I know black lug are gutted before freezing as leaving the guts in spoils them when they freeze, makes no difference if using fresh ones!

Yes its only the blacks that get gutted before freezing/salting /preserving.
The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened.
