better get back on topic before this gets cleaned up hybrid worms hoax me thinks

 

i think so to but you never know
johny b where did you see them or you got a link?

 

You often come across a lugworm shaped worm when digging rag in the Forth area.

It has slight 'leggy' frills - not as distinct as on ragworm. There are also some fronds around the head.

These worms also turn up around rocks when I am searching for peelers.

Tried to find a name for them - but have so far failed.

Tried them for bait a few times - only had a few fish on them. Not nearly as good a bait as lug and rag.

I've never been called exotic before! I'm chuffed.:whistling

Pelamid, I know the type of lug you mean, they have like clumps of fronds around the front half of the lug in a line.
I've just used them as normal lug, some areas I've dug have more than others but its bait and gets used.

Hiya,

I'm pretty sure it's a species of tube worm and not a hybrid

 

I was digging last week and got a large worm that I thought was a deformed giant rag, it was about 8 inches long as wide as my thumb, had no pincers tho - was pink and curled up like a pigs tail in my bucket.

Fishing at Ainster later that night I shown it to an old guy fishing beside me and he said ther known locally as "snotteries" and make fantastic bait. Didn't know the proper name for them though. Can see where the name comes from,I put it on a pennel rig whole and it was squirting black juice out all directions! I gave it a fling out, within seconds my rod tip was going like hell! bites had been really slow until then, using lug n rag cocktails previously. Anyway I never connected with a fish, probably just wee coalies or whiting taking chunks off. The rig came back clean as a whistle.

Anyway If I ever come across another one I'll definately take a closer look n try and gets pics up.

Sounds the same as the one I found mate. Very lethargic moving, like lug, Frills like you said aswell, on front 2/3rds of body, alot fatter at head than tail but no distinct change in body shape like Lug? Its really bothering me what these things are! If nobody on here comes up with the name I'll be back down the same spot looking for another one to post pics

 

Hya,

I cant find a pic of the worm it's self just now but there is a discription of it here

 

im still not picturing this and is it like a furry big black lug?

 

Aye colin but its Pink! atleast the one I had was.
