No idea fishing attraction wise but as a gardening boost w9rm casts (and worms in general) are amazing. They sort of pre-digest the matter so the soil bits are more broken down and the nutrients become more bioavailable once they have passed through.

I've never heard of worm cast for sale, is there any evidence of said worms imparting any sort of attraction as the soil passes through them?
Seems counter intuitive to me, I would have thought the worms would have stripped out the nutrients and minerals before letting go of the by product

Using soil rsther than groundbait. Is a tactic to attract fish to the sound of bait being introduced without feeding them. As Roach are also known for preferring to feed over a datk background it's s useful tactic. On many waters putting in big amounts of bait or using a spod will drive the fish away . You need to know the water , before doing something drastic.

I've seen it used as a ground bait additive, along with mole hill soil, and used neat with binders...but...it is really such a deviation from just using soil...a well known tactic to get fish grubbing about.
Personally, I'd only buy from companies that sell worms, like Willy Worms, otherwise how do you know what you're getting, it surely has to come direct from worm producers.

I've used worm casts plenty in the past, but I honestly didn't find it any better than the fine soil collected from mole hills.
I mold this around leads, clips, etc.. Some waters this really turns the carp on, while on others it barely seems worth the bother. Just like many things we do I suppose.

Seems like there are a lot of companies now selling wormcast for fishing purposes. I know a lot of top anglers swear by it but has anybody ever used the wormcast and if so how have you used it ie groundbait, in PvA bags etc?
