Fun with squirmy wormies

The squirmies I have, superglue dissolves them instantaneously like pouring salt on a slug.

I use gorilla glue gel super glue. It's not as instant as other super glues and I find I have to let sit on the hook a little and then hold the squirmy for a minute or longer before it starts to stick real good. No dissolving issues in the slightest. Perhaps it's the type of super glue your using.

I liked the egg clusters Mark. How did you for them on the hook? Small pieces one at a time?

I start with a whole worm. Tie half of it down at about the 1/4 worm spot and encourage it to fold over. I cut it off somewhere near the middle of the worm. Then I tie the other half down. After the whole hook is covered I trimmed the ends somewhat even and then put on the milt (marabou).

I could do a SBS if you like. I wonder if I can find the time with all this virus lock down stuff going on.

Besides the lock down we just had a foot of snow and we have another foot coming. Glad I bought a plow truck.

"Glad I bought a plow truck."  Sounds like: Glad I bought a vise.  :)  Have fun bashing the drifts.  It is a good hobby this time of year.

Yep, as soon as I get done plowing all this new snow.

😣  I can empathize with you, Mark.   It was a chilly 83 degrees here today. 

After the 90 we had yesterday, I was ready to pull out the sweaters.  😆

I don't think you are empathizing Mike. I think you're just being a jerk............ again🙄( Oh no he ditant).

It's still snowing. I'm not complaining but it is cutting into my fishing time. And the fish house will be impossible to get to for a week or two.

I tied some squirmies for crappies, but was not happy with them.
