European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia Hortensis) are fast becoming the worm of choice for keen anglers who want a fresh, fat and wriggly worm that will stay on the hook and last.
The perfect worm…
Euro’s (or ENC’s) are larger than your common composting worm and smaller than a Scrub Worm making them the perfect size for fishing, providing a great option for those looking to fish in fresh or brackish water.
Being quite a muscular worm from head to tail, they’re as tough as a scrubbie so the fish have to work harder to pull them off the hook, which may in turn help increase catch rates.
They’re also a very versatile worm suited to both warm and cool climates plus you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. How good is that!
