    The sandworm are very good if you fish them as a soft plastic lure around piers and jettys. I wouldnt imagine they catch much if you cast them out and let them static on the bottom like a baited worm.
    The crab catch more anglers than fish tho.

    So there is no point throwing them out with a gripper lead and waiting? ??

    So best to ring up the worm with a small weight 12/15 inches below it and jig it up and down while reeling it in??

    I could possibly see them working on a long flowing trace in a decent tide, but other than that I wouldnt bother.

    In fact a few months ago when I was fishing in an estuary my father put a firetail on the bottom hook of a three hook flapper as an experiment. It was hammered by small codling. But conditions dictate.
