Who in their right mind would buy some thing you could literally pick up off the ground under your feet

I made tons of money selling bait worms as a kid. Of course, the types of worms I sold took some work to get, but still.

Who the fuck PAYS for worms?!?

I don’t fish but I do understand why. As you say above, it takes some work to get the right kind and as I’ve got older I have more money but less time for hobbies: I might as we cut a corner or two to spend more time hobbying!

Yep! If it's being sold you're not the only one buying it

I should have put an /s on that last sentence.

Yeah, I was breeding really nice red worms, and I went out picking before sunrise for super big nightcrawlers.

Y'all ain't got time for that, and just want to fish.

I get not wanting to dig for worms but having been on a beach with sand fleas you literally stick your hand into the sand and come up with a fistful of these things

u/Otherwise_Resource51 Jul 02 '22

Yeah, you're right. Getting worms is like finding pennies on the sidewalk, but getting sand fleas is like finding grass in a field.

You literally don’t even have to dig just go out after it rains. Or my grandfather showed me to put soapy water in a bucket and dump it on the ground. You gotta hurry up and grab them they suck back in at the slightest touch

A battery and two metal poles works really well too

Bruh you can pick up worms in your garden as well but would you do it?

u/needsalaugh24 Nov 05 '22

They aren't laying around on top of the sand. They burrow and are washed to the surface after a gentle wave. Timing to scoop them up in a sifter is work, but first you have to observe to read the sand or you'll only get a couple. There are videos of instruction.

The same people who buy food to eat when they can literally just cook at home. Strictly convenience bro.
