The worms were sticking when I opened the first pack. Not bad and they peeled apart quite easily.
George was thinking the same thing I was. There must be some sort of coating you could put on these to eliminate, or greatly reduce the sticky stuff while they were in package/storage and it would dissolve after it hit the water.
Grinding up fish pellets would be something to try. Kinda like put them in a shake-n-bake bag, get em coated and then package them.
I just opened the pack of previously opened green worms that have been in my fridge for a couple days. It appears that the latex component is grabbing a hold on each other. You can see it stretch a bit when you pull them apart.
A coating process, like they do for candies and such would probably be more economical than individual wrappers.
