[font "Arial"][#008000][size 3]Butterworms are used as a food source for a variety of pets including birds, small mammals, fish, lizards and other reptiles. Perhaps better known as fishing bait, Butterworms have been long used for fishing in their native country of Chile. Butterworms are well known in Europe where they are used extensively as both live pet food and fishing bait.

[font "Arial"][#008000][size 3]Butterworms have fat smooth bodies like waxworms but are much larger. Sizes ranging from about 3/4 to 1 1/2 inch in length. Butterworms are the soft bodied larva of the Chilecomadia moorei moth native to the mountains of central Chile.

[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Hey there davetclown - do you like them fried or grilled? Perhaps I should say throw another butter worm on the Barbee and I will be right over![][/size][/green][/font]

I use them at times in Cali. I get them from the local reptile supply house. The are cheaper then the few bait shops that "Might" have them.

I actually use them for Bluegills.[] Your favorite. The fit nice on an Aberdeen hook.

I do believe that you can order them online at that Rainbow Worms place.[cool]

I found one place on line that sells them, they wanted a dollar apeice per worm.. a bit high for blue gill fishing. Its kinda like paying 32 dollars for a dozen crawlers... at that price the crawlers would still be a better buy...

I got a free tub of them several years back from a distributer north of here, I never did get to use them, they went bad before I got the chance...

what kind of prices are you seeing them at?

I was just wondering if any one had seen them with a reasonable price

try them on your pizza,

they have a crunchy buttery flavor [sly] "not"

I bet they would give a taquila worm a run for the bottle...[laugh]

I've never tried anything like that. My prefered bait for panfish are wax worms. They are 3.75 per container and they work great. They are a small white worm, a perfect "bite size" morsal for those wonderful little ankle biters. []

I'm going to try a different rig this season for panfish. Instead of the traditional bobber w/ a split shot half way down then a hook, i'm going to use a tiny lead head jig for the hook and weight, then thread the wax worm on the hook. I think it'll work great. [cool]

My local place has them for around 6 bucks for 50 or 10 bucks for 100. I did find a place on line that is not as good as my home boys but they are still better than the price you mentioned.

Give this one a shot. [url "http://www.recorpinc.com/pricingcdn.html"]Fish Bait[/url]

thanks, I dont realy want any at the moment. I was wanting prices.

I want to check the competitiveness of price for this type of bait... and the distribution of this bait.

I may want to give them a try about the end of april for trout... a fly is a fly, just so long as it aint a stink bug.[]

You are welcome my friend. These worms can be kept just like meal worms and waxies. I have a fridge just for bait. I keep the Butters, Mealies, Waxies and others in there. The chill just helps to suspend their metamorphysis.

I am working on some new colorings for my Crawlers too. I will keep you informed when I have success.[cool]
