Medium
Large
Most anglers find that when fishing in some of the smaller ponds or canals then the smaller worms make for the ideal bait. Fish that tend to enjoy the pursuit of the medium and larger worms include: Tench, Bream, Pearch, Roach and even Carp.
Some of these Dendrobaena can even be found in unusual colours, bright green for example. This is where the worm supplier will have fed them a special nutrient diet. The key benefit here is that these worms can be seen if murkier waters. Additionally it should be noted that they also perfect for attracting the specimen fish that have grown accustomed to the usual run of the mill baits.
Lob Worms

Many top anglers won’t even attempt to go fishing without ensuring that they have a good selection of mixed worms available.
Worm Care and Storage
Providing that you have purchased your worms from a reputable supplier you should find that they will last for quite a while. Very often the angler can revisit the worm supply for close to 3 weeks on the basis that the worms are stored in a cool and dry place.
If you are intending to use the worms for a longer period than this it will be sensible to transfer them to a ventilated bucket. Additional worm bedding and feed will probably be a good idea too, which will serve to extend the life and ultimately the usability of your worms.
