Meal worms for whitting ect

[URAGANGI]

Has anyone tried using meal worms for whitting and bream? I know this sounds a little bit out there.. But it does work. All you do is present the bait as if you would with regular worms.

Greg, Jack is right they are beetle larva. You can buy them at most pet shop outlets. One small punnet will set you back $10 or so, still cheaper than worms, and can sometimes perform just as well. Just rig up and fish as you would normally. Thread the meal worm on as if it were a blood worm or yabby. And the plus is, it's a nice clean bait nothing like maggots for trout. If your a bass fisherman try using crickets. You can grab these at a local pet store also. Normally I'd fish pretty light and flick the cricket onto the lilly pads and slowly drag the cricket under. A light split shot for casting ease is all that is needed. I was ammazed at just how well bass can fight, let alone the speed at which they can strike at. Top little fighters and good fun.
