Black lug can be frozen, but red/blow lug can't, they just turn to a mushy pulp when they defrost. Before freezing black lug, squeeze out the guts etc otherwise they will decompose quickly when thawed.

as you pumped them i take it they're yellows. so yeah gut and roll in 10's in newspaper. if you keep dropping them from a height into a bucket they will burst and perfect to roll.

yes crabs can be frozen. peel as you normally would, then wrap in kitchen foil and freeze. mark the date when you freeze them so you know which ones to use first.

don't freeze 'em, salt 'em! I am not going to repeat the scientific bit, as I have done that several times, as others on the site will confirm, and they will also confirm that it is far better than freezing.
Search for "salting lugworms and ragworms" should give you the answer you need.
