<p> I have some important information that I would like to add about wax worms. These are my go-to for tipping jigs.</p>
<p> When you use wax worms please be extremely cautious that none are allowed to escape. I seen one instance where a fisherman tossed the left over worm from a snuff can into the weeds because he knew he wouldn't have time to get them used .</p>

wow i wished our wal-mart sold them but the do sell night crawlers and red wigglers and crickets but that is it and i thought about putting wax worms on some small jigs or even on some rooster tails and just on a hook and float near weed lines and on the deep side of the banks

We can get both here at Wal-Mart. The waxworm is used at Reelfoot as much as crickets. They tip small Grizzly brand jigs with them and tightline them around the lilly pads and cypress knees.

And technically if your fridge is back running they will be "crawls" because they will be too chilled to take off - but a mess, yes. It's the Beemoth because it eats wax, it's not made of wax - although those would be cool, because you could put a wick in them and go night fishing.

The wax worm is the larvae stage of the wax moth, not flies, that would be the meal worm.

<p>The secret- when you have them you FISH! I am fishing Tuesday & Wednesday unless it is nasty because I have bait. Don't try to store it for a month - then you will always have fresh bait.</p>
