How much is the price of the red worm

Red worms are one of the main baits for fishing in natural waters in many parts of China, especially in the north in spring, late autumn and winter, from the beginning of November to April of the following year. As long as they are open to eat fish, they are especially fond of red insects, especially the best bait for winter fishing. Let's take a look at the price of red insects.

How much is the price of the red worm

The price of the red worm is very unstable, and it may be different from season to day. It is sold in most fishing gear stores, and the price is not fixed. In addition, individual bugs are divided into several grades from an early age. The bigger the bug is, the higher the price is. It is also divided into male worms and female worms. Male worms are generally suitable for fishing, while females are not easy to preserve and have high water content. They are generally suitable for raising ornamental fish after freezing or selling them to bait manufacturers as raw materials. The retail price of male worms ranges from dozens to more than 100, while females are generally relatively cheap, ranging from more than 10 yuan to 20 or 30 yuan.

What are the species of red insects?

According to the research of zoologists, red insects are widely distributed all over the world, from tropical swamps to polar regions, from plains to glaciers above 5600 meters. At present, there are more than 5000 known species of Chironomidae in the world and about 500 species in China. The red worms we see in ornamental fish markets and fishing gear stores are just a few of them. Red worms vary in size and thickness. Anglers are used to dividing the red worm into a "male" and a "female". The "male" is 20mm long and 1.2mm in diameter, with a short, stout body, blue-black head, tough skin and bite resistance. This is the big red bug that is used as bait. The female worm is 25mm long and 30mm in length and less than 1mm in diameter, but its body is slender, thin and soft, and its head is black or green. It is often used as bait. There is also a small red worm, which is only 1 cm long, which is mainly used to feed ornamental fish and can also be mashed and mixed with pasta as bait. The "male worm" and "female worm" mentioned here are actually different kinds of red worms, but they are just names that anglers are used to.

How to choose the red worm?

1. Although the red worm can be used as bait, there are advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, you should choose when buying and collecting by yourself. Like the so-called "male worm" with a blue-black forehead and a stout body, it is easy to survive and durable, and is most favored by anglers. Tie it to the hook, like a blooming red chrysanthemum, sink to the bottom and constantly twist, has a great attraction to the fish, easy to be found and swallowed by the fish.

2. The so-called "mother worms" that turn green or black on the forehead, light red, long knots and slender, are not only difficult to raise and easy to die, but also difficult to use when fishing. Tie it to the hook half dead, unable to twist, the effect of attracting fish is not as good as the "male worm". Also because of its soft, drooping under the hook for a long time, fish (especially small crucian carp) often only hold the insect body growing out of the hook when eating bait, and raise their head to float before inhaling the hook into the mouth, resulting in a high rate of empty hooks. At the same time, if you encounter a small miscellaneous fish hook, can not be pecked by a small miscellaneous fish, leaving a thin layer of white skin, completely lose the role of attracting fish.

3. Because the "male worm" is selected one by one from the artificially collected red insects, the price is more expensive, which is 5 to 10 times that of the "female worm". When using "male worm" for fishing, the dosage is far less than that of "female worm". The "male worm" can be like an earthworm, hanging on the hook alone, and its intensity is much higher than that of the "female worm", so anglers mostly use the "male worm" as bait when fishing. The price of "mother worm" is cheap, and it is mostly used to hit nests as bait and red worm bait (together with commercial bait).
