| worm angling. Effectively using live worms as bait | | | | size 6 8 or 10, and therefore the hooks are all but |
| isn't as simple as just "threading" a worm onto a | | | | invisible to the naked eye. As a matter of fact a |
| hook and calling it good. Sure, this is how children | | | | live worm rigged on a set of #10 gang hooks |
| approach the situation, but we, as adults, need to | | | | looks like a worm hanging off of your line, without |
| begin using a more effective way. The way to | | | | any hooks in it. Do you think this might increase |
| effectively use live worms as bait is to employ a | | | | your catch rate a little bit? It sure does. Couple |

| to do. Even if night crawlers are being used as | | | | well they work. I can't even remember the |
| bait, gang hooks should still be used. In the case | | | | number of times that I've caught fish on the |
| of night crawlers, they should simply be pinched in | | | | trailing hook, that would have gotten away if not |
| half, so as not to leave a large portion of the | | | | for me using gang hooks. The bottom line is if I'm |
