I run a lanscape, nursery business in E. Central Ia. We have over the years purchased plant material from Missouri, Arkansa, Texas, etc. This process has brought along an earthworm that has proliferated readily in our mulch and potting soils-literally they are there by the 1000's. Overwinter well and keep multiplying. They make better composted soil than redworms or crawlers. When you pick them up they will literally "jump" out your hand like Mexican jumping beans, and they run like snakes and just as fast. I have been told they are called Arkansas "jumpers". Anyhow, the point of this is-I have used them for bait-they break easily when putting them on a hook and the fish seem to dislike them (actually spit them out). Are they familiar to anybody here, and if suitibale for bait how do you use them? Thanks-Postbeetle
