I am starting this thread because as I was just talking about worms on another thread something occurred to me, I have never tried those centipedes, I was digging over one of my indoor pots the other day and one popped up. I used to see loads of these in the garden or under any bit of turned over log but never thought of trying them as bait, red and very wiggly and probably occur in the water now and then if they fall in, they must be good especially for roach, anyone tried them?
And whilst on the subject, apart from worms anyone use any other natural bait and what do you think of their use generally? I remember trying wood lice once or twice and the roach were mad for them in one water I fished. Do we ignore them too much? Spending money and time preparing all manner of things when ample ready made free baits are there. Is it just laziness, convenience and conditioning that stops us; I am sure that's where I am.
Or is it handling them because I acquired a few very thin light disposable sort of Polythene gloves the other day for viral protection but just thought these could be ideal for handling creepy crawlies or just to protect from biting, staining, smelling or rat disease. just another thought.
