Worm id!!

#1 Post by vamper »

Took the kids down to the beach yesterday with their buckets and spades, and one of them dug up a worm.

It was about 5cms long, white, and looked a bit like an albino anorexic ragworm!

Sorry i have no pics, but would anyone on here know what is was, and if they would be any good as bait?
