If you look at the very first post of the thread, you will see the standsard bristleworm trap . I just put in some freeze dried krill and placed one end of the trap as close to the spot where I saw the worm and within 5 minutes he started in. he was had in 10-15 min. Good to know that they work in case I ever get a bad one.

Ironically the traps wouldn't work quite as well for the bad ones. First they are notoriously very large before they are noticed, like 2 - 3 feet long. Or, their diet consists of leather corals or Gorgonians. The only exception I can think of is a bright red fire worm that eats polyps and mushrooms as well as carrion. It could be enticed by dead meat in a trap.

WOW! Forget the trap then, if I get one of those, I guess my salmon rod w/ 20lb test and a hunk of toadstool leather on a 1/0 hook would be needed!
