Bait pumps for lug worm

#1 Post by Harryp »

Do they work, has anyone tried them around County down?
Do they damage the worms if they do work and are they really easier than digging?

From what i hear they are only any good for black lug or rag. So far as i know any lug local to Co Down will be blow lug which you really need to dig..Cheers

its black lug that they are best for. i think its because they burrow vertically, as apposed to the horizontal burrows of blow lug
