Bloodworm.seA red larva on a dark bottom.

Bloodworms in light and dark red, 25 × 1 mm, with a scent that lasts through several bites. The little red thing that perch, whitefish and roach see in the dark water. Next come live ones: booked ahead, and sent out fresh once a week.

The larva of the midge. Bloodworm, midge larva, blood worm: the same animal, and what perch, whitefish and roach eat all winter. It's the bait they choose when they are being fussy.
Try it

Thread it on

Perch, whitefish, roach and char all eat bloodworms, but they take them differently. Pick a fish.

Live bloodworms, fresh once a week

Real, live bloodworms are on the way. You book yours ahead, and once a week they are sent straight out to you, fresh.

One thing

A small range, chosen on purpose

Bloodworm.se sells one thing, instead of a shelf with everything: larvae in light and dark red, a fifty-pack with scent, and Magic Bait's soft bloodworm, sold by weight and not by count. More when something turns up that is worth selling.

Every line on a product says what it is: the size, the count and the scent. Not what that kind of thing usually is.

On the ice

The scent lasts, and the bag goes in your pocket

The scent is in the larva and lasts through several bites, so one larva fishes on after the first fish. They are a steady stand-in when you can't get hold of real bloodworms, and most of all on late ice, when the real ones are hard to find.

On the ice, the bag goes in the inside pocket.

“The little red thing that perch, whitefish and roach see in the dark water.”

Light red in clear water, and when the fish have grown used to the dark red ones. Dark red, the classic blood red, for roach, whitefish and char in the deep.
