In India, traditional fishing methods often use locally available earthworms as bait. These worms are commonly found in moist soil and are excellent for catching various freshwater fish species found in Indian rivers and lakes.
To properly hook an earthworm for fishing in Indian waters, start by selecting a fresh, lively worm from your local supplier or dig them from damp soil after rainfall. Thread the hook through the worm\“s head section, allowing the body to wiggle naturally in the water. For smaller fish, use just a portion of the worm, while for larger species like the Indian mahseer or rohu, you can use the entire worm.
Many Indian anglers prefer using traditional bamboo rods with simple hooks when fishing with worms. The natural movement of the worm in the water attracts fish effectively in both still waters and flowing rivers across India. |
