wannabefisho Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 They should last up to 72 hours with an aerator, but under 24 hours if no water change and no aerator. Same goes for beach and blood worms. Although you can store beach worms in dry sand for up to 3 days as long as they are in a cool moist area (like under a house or caravan) and they wont stink or anything if done properly, lol Great bait all worms, top for the beaches, rivers and freshwater, lol Good luck what will you be chasing on them???
