Quick take

Plastic hollow tube that threads hooks through live worms and nightcrawlers without puncturing them or tearing the bait.

This is a small plastic worm threader with a hollow tube that slides a hook through a worm or nightcrawler. It works with live bait and soft plastic worms alike, and the handle is shaped for an easy grip. Weighing about 9 grams, it fits in a tackle box and suits anglers who rig worms often.

Best for

  • Threading live nightcrawlers for bass and catfish
  • Float fishing with soft baits
  • Anglers who want to preserve bait integrity

Skip if

  • You use artificial worms exclusively
  • You prefer hooking baits by hand

Strengths

  • Hollow design slides easily over hook and through bait
  • Buoyant plastic floats if dropped in water
