I can located a plentiful supply of brandlings would love to use them for bait, however , I've had conflicting reports of their suitability. Some say they emit a sour substance when bitten by fish which is a deterrant, and others say they are a brilliant bait - chopped or whole.
I suppose the best way to find out is to try them.
What do you think.

Brandlings are red and slightly yellow in colour (which also makes them known as tiger worms) and very soft to touch. Slightly smaller than lobworms. When hooking a brandling, it will ooze an unpleasant yellow fluid that smells a little, but this smell is very effective in catching the fish as they are attracted to the scent. Living in farm manure and compost these worms are more commonly bought from the shops.
If storing for a length of time (realistically, not much longer than a week), keep the worms damp by spraying them lightly but regularly with water and take out the dead worms as soon as possible as they contaminate the container and will shorten the lifespan of the other worms. Hope this helps.
