Yes! find the bigger lug and gut them as you dig them ( to stop them blowing) place them on newspaper to dry leave for a couple of days in a cool place then roll them in fresh newspaper and freeze. they are good for small fish and the like.

Some gut them, others dont...it really depends on your own preference.

I've been told that in gutting them, your removing a great deal of the scent, common sense I guess as your getting rid of the innards, however, gutting them may make it easier to present on the hook maybe.

I dare say its all a matter of opinion.

When I'm digging my own worms, I tend to seperate any damaged ones, and freeze those, but I'll also freeze any unused whole worms after a session if I wont be using them fresh within a few days.

Trial and error freezing worm worked for me. And everyone has their own view. Myself. i freeze them whole, as fresh as possible in newspaper. Just lay out a sheet and pop a worm on, roll over the paper edge to cover the worm and then pop another worm on. Then roll and continue for 10/12 worms. then freeze. Just try not to crush or be too rough with them.
