Where is the best place to get 1000 to 5,000 wax worms?
With ice fishing starting, I need to get some ordered.
I don't like to pay $2.00 for 36 of them locally, so I would appreciate finding an online store with the best prices including shipping.
Thanks,
DKS.

Id check eBay, I bought 200 of them last year I cant remember the seller (Ill double check) but they arrived in a few days packaged real nicely and he even threw in extra 25 if any died during shipping.
Im sure you can contact the sellers through eBay and ask them for a better deal & shipping arrangements with with those quantiles.

The order is split 4 ways. 1000 divided by 4 = 250
It doesn't take that long to go through 250 wax worms.
You don't feed wax worms. Just take what you need for a day and leave the rest back home.
They last about 4 to 5 weeks that way.

Way too much $$$ for those wax worms to feed to fish.

250 for $20, yes too much. The link I posted you can get 1000 for $22. Being the gentleman that I am I will still take you up on those beers!
$20.00 isn't alot when it comes to fishing, I realize that but you might as well get the most for your money.
