Are red worms tolerant of low temperature?

It's 65438+ February, winter is almost halfway over, the weather is getting colder and colder, both the temperature and the water temperature are very low, but we fishermen can't care so much, we still have to catch fish. In view of the actual fish situation, the fish mouth is shallow and the water temperature is low, so the fishing methods and methods adopted are different. Here we want to introduce the red bug mentioned by the subject, which is a good live bait for fishing crucian carp in winter, so why can the red bug fish?

First of all, red worms and fish

Red worms are chironomid larvae, which live in wild waters and are widely distributed, but their sizes are still a little different. Generally speaking, females are relatively small, but they can multiply in summer. Because it is red in appearance and rich in protein, it is favored by the majority of fish, and it is not difficult for young fish to hunt, so it becomes the rations that fish usually rely on for survival. And those larger male red worms are more suitable for larger fish, so wild fish can be said to be accompanied by red worms. Moreover, farmed fish often eat farmed red worms, especially young fish. In this way, both wild fish and black pit fish will have a good impression on red worms and have a special liking.

Second, how to save the red worm

Back to the topic, since fish like red worms so much, we fishermen will certainly not ignore this fact, so we often use red worms to catch crucian carp when fishing in winter. But being a live bait is definitely different from being a dead bait. Let's take the fishing effect as an example. Live red worms can definitely have an advantage in attracting fish by virtue of their freshness, so they should always keep their activity.

Moreover, the core significance of preserving red worms in winter is anti-freezing, moisturizing and ventilation. Although red worms are relatively resistant to low temperature, they often freeze in winter. If the red worm is frozen, I think it will die and be disabled, so it is not suitable for fishing. Moisturizing is to keep up with water, after all, life cannot be separated from water. Breathing is the need of red worms to breathe. If they are in the environment of bees, they will definitely suffocate.

Having said that, how to preserve the red worm in this season and ensure that it will not die? The method is as follows. These three methods are just to attract jade.

1, earthworm box preservation method

When we usually buy earthworms, we often get earthworm boxes and sell them to us with earthworms. Will we throw it away when we use it? But this is a good thing in winter. There are many small holes around, which is convenient for ventilation. It is also convenient to use it to save red worms. The specific method is as follows:

First, clean the earthworm box. Generally, red worms are not preserved in soil, and then two cotton pads or thin sponges are found. Spread a cotton pad on the bottom of the box with water, then put the red worm in it and cover it with another cotton pad. Finally, cover the box, preferably in the fresh-keeping room, because it is relatively constant temperature here. If it is placed outdoors, the temperature will be different, and it may freeze to death or heat to death.

2. Preservation methods of fruits and vegetables

Vegetables and fruits are basically composed of water. If you use them to keep red worms fresh, you don't have to worry about moisturizing. You can buy bigger apples, pears are the best and have more water. If you consider economic conditions, you can use cheap big white radish. The method is as follows:

The basic principle of vegetables and fruits is the same. Take the apple as an example, that is, cut the apple into two fifths and leave it as a cover, which can also be used to prick red worms. The apple below uses a knife to dig a hole in the middle, the size is mainly to put down the whole red worm, but also to reserve a little ventilation space. Then put the red worms in, cut a few small holes in the lid to breathe, and put them in the fresh-keeping room. This method is a combination of preservation and use. When in use, it is convenient and hygienic to catch some red worms and put them on the apple cover and tie them at the black heads with the tips of hooks.

3, foam box preservation method

Although it is winter and the weather is very cold, some fishermen still insist on signing at the water's edge every day, so the demand for red worms is relatively large. If it is not cost-effective to buy it bit by bit, they will buy a lot from the Internet at one time. Then the preservation and freshness after that is particularly important. When storing in bulk, the following methods should be used.

First of all, put the red worms in a container and wash them with tap water, so as to remove the pollutants in the red worms and the dead red worms. Then fish out the red worms and spread them on old newspapers or absorbent towels to absorb excess water. Take a foam box of moderate size, punch a few holes in advance to breathe, then spread a prepared sponge on the bottom of the box and add enough water. If it is a sponge, it doesn't need to be too thick, just one or two centimeters. Add red worms, suck some water from another sponge, then cover it, cover it again and put it in the fresh-keeping room. Because it takes a long time, we should observe it every three to five days. When water is scarce, add some water. It takes about a week to take out the red worms and wash them again to get rid of the dead ones.

Third, extend it: the use of red worms.

Since the preservation method of red worms is introduced, by the way, the use method of red worms is introduced as a supplement. There are three main methods, the specific use depends on personal habits and fish and water conditions, and the methods and use effects are evaluated as follows.

1, red bug trap method

The red bug trap is specially designed for anglers to use red bugs. It feels tall to operate, but the actual effect and efficiency remain to be discussed. The specific method is to thread the rubber band into the clip, and then press and hold the button on the back of the device. At this time, the clip at the front end will be unfolded, put into the red worm and let go. How many red worms you need can be adjusted by yourself, then hang the hook on the rubber band and tie the red worm trailer.

Effect analysis: the red worm clip needs to be purchased separately, generally tens of dollars, and the use effect is definitely related to personal proficiency, which is suitable for traditional fishing, especially when fishing large crucian carp in grass holes. Another advantage is that the number of red worms can be adjusted at will. For example, when the fish is light, there can be fewer red worms, and when the fish is heavy, there can be more red worms. The disadvantage is that the operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, and sometimes it is not recommended when the fish mouth is good.

2. Insect puncture method

This method, which is similar to the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable preservation method, was made by our fishermen with their own intelligence. Take white radish as an example to illustrate here. Take a bigger white radish and cut it from the thickest part in the middle, leaving only a cylinder with a thickness of five centimeters. Then put a little red bug on it, pull it to the side with a hook, and stick the black head of the little red bug with the tip of the hook. Be careful not to puncture the body, otherwise the body fluid will leak out and the fishing effect will be greatly reduced.

Effect analysis: This method can be used when the requirements of fine fishing are high, whether it is to tie one or two red worms, so it is suitable for the time when the fish mouth is weak. Moreover, it is convenient to obtain materials and simple to make, and it is not a pity to throw them away after use. The most important thing is the firmness and high efficiency of the method soil, grounding gas and red bug hook, which will not be wasted.

3. Binding method

This method is probably the most primitive and rough method, and the operation is simpler, that is, the red worm is bound with a thin rope, and the cross-binding method is stronger.

Effect analysis: Although it is really troublesome to tie, you can make preparations in advance, especially when fishing with a string hook, to avoid bait falling when throwing it vigorously, which is very useful as a large-scale crucian carp fishing.

Final summary

In fact, the red worms we bought are also farmed. The reason why live bait can live lies in a suitable living environment and our careful care. The above-mentioned preservation methods are not necessarily absolute, but should be selected according to the actual situation. Therefore, whether it is the preservation or use of red worms, it is best to suit yourself and the actual situation.
