tunnel barm in warwick so fingers crossed it should be good going =)

i guess storing them is just put a bit of soil and some veg peelings in a box?

should i frigde them or just normal garage temp?

Search for Tunnel Barn on this site! Paste seems to be the in bait and not as expensive as worm!!

I use to have a towel at the back of work on the grass, Get loads from there

But three weeks ago I forgot to grab a few, went on a match with no worm ! was gutted but the shop had some. Bloody 4 quid for a few little things, was heartbroken. Lol Better off using your own but like I said. A good damp towel in the back yard or on some grass can get you tons

Hi Beasty Boy,

Feel in the sack the should be moist, if not only moisten them lightly. They should also be in some form of compost, make sure the bag is tied tight and place them on the garage floor somewere dark. but make sure you keep them out of the sun (HA HA) if we get any whilst you are fishing, doesn't hurt to check them periodicly and give them a turn over will keep for weeks mate if you dont forget about them.

Have a great match at Tunnel.
