Do worms lose their edge in Winter?

[Zerkalo]

Last time I fished Furnace Mill I took some Dendros hoping to snag one of the big resident Perch or Bream and ended up with a 4oz Crucian and a few Ide. Ide seem to love them too? I will carry on taking them as on the right venue, right day, I can see how they could be the best winter bait.

I trickle a few bits of chopped worm and maggot down the inside line while fishing further out. Later in the day I will run a float through, run it through held back or stret peg. Pick up a few bonus perch and the odd chub before packing up time.

I always have a small match pack of worms, in winter, they've got me in the money on more than one occasion, mainly fish commercials and lakes, wouldn't bother in summer

If I had to pick one bait for bigger fish to use all year round on the river it would be the Lobworm as I have caught my best chub,barbel and roach on the humble lob as a hookbait.

Try a nice big juicy slug for the chub mate they love em.

I've not had any success at all with worm this winter, summer and autumn however it was my no.1 bait
