Typical presentation
Lugworm: Thread the worm so the hook is hidden and the tail still moves. A bunch for bigger fish; a single for dabs.
Ragworm: Hook once through the head so it wriggles. A whole king rag for bass; a small harbour rag for dabs.
Suitable rigs
Lugworm: 2-hook flapper, 3-hook flapper, 1-up 1-down, Single-hook clipped-down, Two-hook clipped-down, Three-hook clipped-down
Ragworm: 2-hook flapper, Simple bass rig, Float rig, Pennel rig
Fresh / frozen
Lugworm: Newspaper or a fridge box. Keep them cool and dry-ish. Frozen lug still catches, but fresh is better. Do not invent a fridge temperature — cool, not frozen solid in the van.
Ragworm: A fridge, not a sunny bucket. They go off faster than lug. Frozen rag is a poorer substitute than frozen lug.
