Great clip, can we save as a sticky very useful? Bait only section possible for this kind of stuff perhaps?
Just bait types and their uses, no questions just info on the bait type?

Never seen him in action, but I have heard stories that would suggest our own Donal Domeney would leave this guy in the shade in speed digging terms...

from looking at the video does he squeeze the tail or the head of the lug? and what is the purpose of doing that?

He squeezes the head to gut it. The reason is so they freeze down properly. if you leave the guts in or any moisture on them it ruins them when you freeze them down, because any moisture turns to crystals and softens the worm when thawed.
