- You may ask, why bother? The truth is that frozen ragworm works just as well as fresh and saves money when you have worm left over. We even noticed that it stayed on the hook better than fresh worms. Also, it saves the stress of not being able to get hold of ragworm at certain times of the year.
Very interesting content! Will try, definitely
I'll do this with earthworms. Just waiting for the next heavy rain for them to surface. Criticise them as bait all you want, but I've caught eels, catsharks and whiting on them.
Very useful video. Will give this a try as I need rag on hand for my sole fishing and it can often prove difficult obtaining it around work timings etc. Thank you
excellent video - thank you. I am brining my first rags now, but have a question... (well 3 in 1)
Why wrap them in newspaper after patting dry?
Could they be wrapped in paper towel?
Is there some special property of pewspaper over paper towel that needs to be considered
Sorry for not replying sooner. My understanding is that paper towels aren’t used for 2 reasons, firstly newspaper is free as it’s simply thrown away and secondly, towels disintegrate when damp
Thank you very helpful where do you dig
I don’t. That’s hard bloody work. I buy from a guy in Essex and I know he digs them on the Suffolk coast somewhere near Ipswich
Does the amount of solution change for larger amounts of worm ie 100 worms
Sorry for late reply. The simple answer is yes you need to increase the salt content but by how much I don’t know. Realistically you can’t really over salt these so add more as opposed to less. They’re going to die either way and the brining process is designed to stop to worms from freezing solid. If that happens there wasn’t enough salt in the water and the worms will likely snap or go mushy. Brining worms makes them leathery and easy to work with.
New to sea fishing. How long can they be frozen for?
Pretty much forever bro
How long do they last once in the freezer please.
Brilliant idea by the way.
Not sure, but I used some after 2 months and they were fine. Same as the ones I froze for a week. And honestly, they did work just as well as fresh

Thank you that's a superb amount of time.
I cannot use fresh as due to ill health I end up letting people down.
Brilliant idea thanks for advice and sharing.
