European Nightcrawlers, also know as Giant Redworms and Belgium Worms, were
introduced into the United States from Europe in the late 1990's. Since that time,
this worm is becoming more and more popular as both a large composting
earthworm and an all around fishing bait here in the states. European
Nightcrawlers grow three to eight inches long and thick as a pencil.
Although Red Wigglers or Redworms are the better known composting
earthworms, European Nightcrawlers make great composting worms for those who
wish to grow a larger earthworm. Much bigger than their smaller cousin the Red
Wiggler or Redworm, European Nightcrawlers are easily grown in the same
manner as Red Wigglers. Besides their size, the main difference between Red
Wigglers and European Nightcrawlers for composting is that European
Nightcrawlers do not breed as quickly nor eat as much as Red Wigglers. Kept
reasonably warm and well fed, adult European Nightcrawlers will produce about
one egg capsules per earthworm a week. It takes from three to seven months
from hatching to maturity. The happier and less crowded they are, the faster they
will reach maturity.

European Nightcrawler makes a superb bait worm, fantastic for all types of fish.

higher in moisture than most types of earthworms. Their affinity for moisture plus
their cold tolerance, make them very attractive for ice fishing. European
Nightcrawlers will still be active on the hook long after other baits have died.
These worms are tough. The only earthworm suitable for bait in brackish salt
water, European Nightcrawlers will stay active on the hook even after thirty
minutes in freezing or salty water. Will out fish common northern nightcrawlers,
