Hi all,
Just wanted to post about the lugworm pump I recently purchased on ebay, it's a fairly cheap one made of copper but it's actually really good, my second attempt this morning was very successful and I got a heap of massive black lugworm, first attempt my bung wasn't tight enough so not enough suction but once I tighten it and tried again it worked a treat!
The pump was only £35 on ebay uk and took just 4 days to get here! PM if you want the link to the product page.
Few tips if anyone is going to try it, firstly make sure your bung is the right tightness. Secondly look for the fatter and neater casts. Thirdly put the pump 2 inches from the cast and pump down 6 inches in the direction of the cast itself. Lastly if you are splitting worms then go shallower and at a steeper angle to the cast!
I also learned that you can salt the lugworm and they'll be good in the fridge for months.
