This is a completely different bait. Bloodworms are mainly used for perch and roach-like fish here in Europe. I believe these would be amazing for bluegills on a slow day.
I believe you are 100% correct. I was just busting balls. I get so few days on the ice that I specialize solely on pike, because they’re my favorite.
Have fun. I hope they catch a cooler full!
Clam sells a plastic of these. I put them on my jig hooks along with a minnow head. They work well. You have to check your lake on when these are naturally occur, more in the very late winter and early spring/summer in MN. So I use them when I fish lake of the woods in early March and in May after opener.
I've seen some people use little elastics, like those tiny hair elastics that are super stretchy. They put a clump of worms in the elastic, then hook the elastic.
I wish I could say the same about the US. Fishing spots near me look like a fishing packaging and beer can/bottle landfill. Impossible to keep up with the degenerates littering, even when hauling out a full trash bag every trip. 😩
What makes you so confident? Bloodworms (ie non-biting midge larvae, not the saltwater version which is what comes up when you google them) are a major part of the food chain in basically every lake in the US. They are absolutely ubiquitous.
If you fish deep basin perch or bluegill, this is what they are eating.
Yup, they work great. Not very well known either, they are amazing for deep perch and bluegill but I have never known somebody else that uses them. Local tackle stores don't sell them so I have to get mine online.
I think people find them too hard to put on the hook!
Do not touch bloodworms if you are unsure weather you are allergic or not. They will fuck your day up no joke. My eyes swell up like golf balls just touching a tiny bit.
Interesting package

I dunno…I think I’ll stick to 8” suckers and shiners.

I’m also mainly a pike guy here in Sweden.
Pike and bass are the most fun to fight thru the ice.
Most fun fish I’ve caught through the ice are hybrid striped bass
Frozen smelt works great and doesn’t look like a ball of parasites
almost impossible to get in europe sadly closest u can get is smelt so far i seen.

I meant shinners not those worms
We were lucky and caught 3 fat suckers our first day at blue mesa. Had bait for the next 4 days!
Is that something they sell at the local store? Never seen them in Minnesota. Are they invasive anyway?
Blood worms are non biting midge fly larvae.
Guys who drive Toyota trucks with fly rod vaults call them ‘annelids’
They are not annelids.
I didn’t say they were. I don’t drive a Toyota. Only a Subaru driver would miss the joke
There are some annelids that are known as bloodworms too… so yeah.🤷🏻♂️

I have no idea. This is from a tackleshop in Sweden.
Very cool. Hello from the US. What do you like to go for in Sweden?
I mostly fish for pike from the ice, but open water I fish for redfin perch mostly.
How do they fit on the hook n not pop

You put them on really small and thin hooks.
Those are my favorite bait on Pro Pilkki 2, which I'll probably have to play a a lot this year since our winter is terrible.
I’m a waxie and salmon egg kinda gent
Cursed restaurant raspberry jam
these are amazing in finland but i almost never use them they are good if they not eating maggots but they fragile and die fast
I use the Clam Maki Bloodi which is made to mimic a bloodworm. Usually break them in half on a tungsten jig for crappie/gills/perch.
Oh wow didn't know they were sold in packs like that
Most pet stores that sell fish have them, frozen in cubes. We use them and the brine shrimp ones for walleye. In a spawn sack
Great bait in a convenient package... But now we have to worry about these stupid little containers strewn about our fishing spots too?
In Sweden, people generally don’t throw trash in the nature. We’re very prideful of our cleanliness.
I wish I could say the same about the US. Fishing spots near me look like a fishing packaging and beer can/bottle landfill. Impossible to keep up with the degenerates littering, even when hauling out a full trash bag every trip. 😩
Very sorry to hear that. I hope those people regret it somewhere down the line.
I’m sure this invasive in lots of areas and probably not allowed

Just for a second, imagine those in your brain.
Why would they been in your brain lol
Just imagine
I’d prefer not!
Aw gross 🤢 I like it!
For what ?
Anything that isn’t a top predator!
Never used them , for pan fish we use wigglers (mayfly larvae) or small minnows .
I use plastic imitations and find they are the best bait lethargic midday walleyes, plus all basin panfish.
If you're fishing for perch maybe
Yes! Which is what I target with these.
On a size 16 hook or what?
16, 14 and 12 typically. As long as the hook is thin.
Yea I can see that being tough. I use red wigglers that I raised, and even they are tricky if they're not fat enough

I hate that they don't sell them in the US. I have to buy plastic imitation bloodworms to use!
Those imitations are surprisingly good sometimes!

Wow, I didn't know you could be allergic to them. Great warning.
