[size 6][#0000ff]How to dye crawlers and worms[/#0000ff][#ff0000]

[/#ff0000][/size][size 1][#000040]1. Take 2 dozen night crawlers or worms and remove all of the dirt. Place them in an old bowl or other deep dish.[/#000040]



[#000040]2. Put in 1 tablespoon of food dye per dozen. Green is usually the prefered color.[/#000040]



[#000040]3. [#000000][b]Stir the dye in with worms. The worms will crawl around in the dye soaking it in. Cover and refrigerate overnight for deep color.[/#000000][/#000040][/b]



[#000040][#000000]4. The next day mix in the dirt, now get ready for some real fishing! These[#008000] GREEN[/#008000][#008080] [/#008080][#ff0000][#000000]crawlers will increase your catch![/#000000] [/#ff0000][/#000000][/#000040]

[#000040][#000000]Note: You can use other colors based on the color of plastic worms that you use in your area. Scents can be added at this time as well. Usually you can use garlic, anise, or corn scents.(if permitted in your state)[/#000000][/#000040]

the Green dye usually works best for Walleye and Trout. You may find other species as well that would be enticed by these dyed worms.

[cool]I have always noticed that crawlers die pretty fast, all by themselves, if you leave them in the heat too long.

Oh...wrong kind of dye.

I have read of the green crawlers being very attractive to both bass and walleye, but have never tried them. They are sold in many of the bait shops in Arizona, and seem to move well. Evidently they are worth the extra money.

Thanks for the information. I bought green nightcrawlers once at Kmart, they were a bit spendy so I didn't get them again.Now I know how to do it myself.

[cool] I've bought some myself wondering what all the "NITRO" fuss was all about. The fish would genereally take them like candy over the natural color. I do agree that the price is really outrageous to by them but the results are amazing.

I am getting ready to try some of the other colors as well. In my local pond, purple seems to be the color of choice for plastics so I will try some purple worms.

I'm not sure how strict your local laws are there for scented bait. I remember hearing something about unscented plastic worms. If it is allowed, you can also use a scenting agent at the same time that you are coloring the worms. Garlic and Anise seem to be a big favorite with the trout and Cats. If you so desire and if it is legal, you only need about 1/2 tsp per dozen of crawlers. Slightly less for blood worms.

[cool]Don't forget to add your favorite flavor to it also. ie: garlic,anchovy, anise, mackeral, even corn flavor. Crave gravy makes all the above flavors if they are legal in your area, go ahead and try it.
