This might sound like a simple proposition; after all you can just carry the container you buy the worms in with you while fishing, right? Of course you can, but my point to this article is that there is a much more effective and efficient way of doing it. As a matter of fact, transporting live worms while fishing doesn't have to involve the container they are purchased in at all (other than for storage). With a very simple yet effective solution, you can have your live worms right at your fingertips at all times.

This very simple yet extremely effective solution is a called a bat bag. A bait bag simply hangs off of your fishing vest, shirt, or belt and carries your worms while you are fishing. The process works like this: You buy your live worms, just like you normally would. When you get to your fishing area, you simply pull the worms out of the container that you purchased them in and place them into the bait bag. The worms simply "ball" up and wait to be used. They don't crawl out or anything! If it's hot outside, simply dip the bait bag into the water, to cool the worms off. This keeps them fresh and lively. Not only is a bait bag the best way to transport live worms while fishing, it also eliminates the need to take the bulky container on the water with you, thus eliminating the possibility that the container gets left behind.

A bait bag will change the way you fish with worms. It makes live worms so much easier to fish with you won't believe it. So how do you get a hold of one of these bait bags? Simple, you can make one yourself or you can purchase a bait bag, the choice is yours. What's important is that you begin using one sooner rather than later. Another cool aspect to using a bait bag, is that when your done fishing, you simply return the unused worms to the container that you bought them in until the next time you go fishing. If you're like me, there are a couple of containers partially full of worms in my fridge thanks to the fact that I use a bait bag. The money a bait bag saves you in not wasting worms is worth any price that you pay for it, whether that price is in money or time.
