Definition
A fishworm, often just called a worm, is a squishy, segmented creature used as bait for catching fish.ðĢ Think of it as nature's gummy worm, but for attracting hungry fish instead of satisfying your sweet tooth. These worms wriggle and squirm, enticing fish to take a bite. They live in soil and feed on decaying organic matter, playing a vital role in soil health. They are commonly found in gardens and along riverbanks. Unlike earthworms that aerate the soil, fishworms are mainly used for angling. So, next time you see someone fishing, remember the humble fishworm doing its job.
