[cool] Have you ever used wax worms? What have you caught? What type of rig did you use?

Wax worms are great for panfish! Simple rig of hook, line, sinker, and, depending on if I need to cast or not, a bobber.
When in a boat, I'd just use a single lead shot about 12 inches above my hook, put the waxie on the hook, line out about the length of the pole, I'd lower slowly, lift up slowly, and (to steal a word out of the old Batman and Robin series) whammo! I'd have a keeper.

Have you ever tried the Euro-maggots? To me they look like colored wax worms.

I havn't tried the colored ones yet. I am working on some formulas right now for crawlers. I'm sure that they would work for waxies also.
Check out the thread on this board.

wax worm dont like getting wet, actuly just plain water makes them die, and not in a good way.
you may want to try using a verry fine mist. maybe a plant mister will be fine enough. you will need to dry them asap. you might try drying them under a low wattage blub, but not a "suzy's easy bake oven" that is unless you plan on having them for desert.....
