Subject: nightcrawler catcher


I saw a guy at a park that had electricity. he had a long extension cord and was picking up nightcrawlers by the dozens with a single wand. I want to try it but i didnt ask him which wire he hooked up to the extension cord which is hot to get those little buggers jump out of the hole and i mean jump he only had one lead one rod so the ground must be the groound is it the side of the plug that is bigger or is it the pin hope im making this clear

Don't mess around with 110 volts. If you must try this method build one using a 12 volt battery. Also be aware that even a 12 volt battery has enough power to kill you. http://www.ehow.com/how_8658143_make-nightcrawler-shocker.html

yes the black wire is the hot wire to hook to the rod it works great scared me at first now im a little braver and watch the crawlers fly out of the ground got 200 in less then 20 min. and guess how much it cost me lol make sure you tape the other wire up real good so that they dont touch. the one thing I like is there is no damage to the worms and they seem to be stronger. Please post how you do

That method has been around for years, BUT, didn't some kid in New York state just get electrocuted like that. Seems I read that recently.

Wisconsin, Dale.

I had one of these when I was kid, they work....they work real well on wet ground. They also are dangerous. If you must make one, think about the young kids watching you.

Cassville teen died just a few weeks ago from one of these.
