You must spray your body with WD40,so you don't rust up when picking. Our Golden years--right. Tom If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping. Tom Olson MTA life member#100,also WTA life member

We had a little backyard worm business we sold them for $0.50 a dozen. My dad made a set of electric worm prods . We caught some real big ones. I remember one time in a town outside of Orofino Idaho we caught this huge one it was at least as round as a nickel and a good 9 to 10 in Long. Biggest worm I've ever seen. I'm not sure where those electric worm prods went but they sure work great day or night. No worms up here in Alaska really to get out of the ground except small little ones during the summer. What does a dozen nightcrawlers set a guy back nowadays. What are the guys selling them for out of their house?
