| Back | Predator Black Lugworm

The best way to use frozen black lugworm is to combine it with a few fresh blow lug to form a big bulky bait maybe 15 to 20cms long with lots of smell to entice cod and bass. It will also catch used on its own being the best of all winter baits for big dabs and cod.

For cod and bass, present the black lug on a pennel rig (two hooks in tandem, the top hook sliding freely on the line) and push it up the trace to make a fat sausage shape. This casts well and gives off lots of scent. Don’t slide the section of worm straight up the hook, pass the hook backwards and forwards in and out along the section of bait which gives a more secure hook hold and stops smaller fish pulling the bait off the hook easily without hooking themselves.

A smaller 4cms section of black lug targets smaller species like flats, rockling and pout.
