Im a girl and i still wanna summon some worms🤨

From what I've been told, that wood sound is almost identical to the sound of a mole digging. The worms' response is to hide from the mole, and since moles don't usually go up to the surface, that's where the worms go.

My grandfather in Alabama called it fiddling worms. He taught me how to look at the ground to know where to “fiddle”. He would use a wood hand saw. Sometimes we would cut down a small tree about 2…. 3 inches thick about 3 feet from the ground. The roots of the tree works great at vibrating the ground. And we would go back to the same stump and “fiddle” to get worms.

My Dad used to have me put his used coffee grounds in the same place in our yard everyday when I cleaned up after dinner. This will draw worms too. He would simply dig his worm hole when he was goin' fishin'. I started a worm hole at my house as an adult. My chickens found the spot, but they didn't get all the worms. My son always had worms.

thank you, its been two years and ive never seen any of your content before but I needed a good simple way to make one on my own so i can catch them to help keep my box turtle fed- shes super picky and wont eat anything unless if shes had a worm or two first

And here I have been digging after the suckers like some common Neanderthal. Thanks for the tip.

This worked so well. They came shooting out of the ground. Thanks!

My Dad and my brother and I we were kids would go out to a field out at the city airport , and drive a stick down and grunt worms with a brick rubbing it on the top of the stick , and wow how the worms will come up to the top , we know we be going fishing soon. 😊

Used to do this when I was a kid. Works great for getting some quick bait.

Just finished your Netflix series it was frickin awesome! I hope you consider continuing it.

So here's something else I stumbled on accidentally: I had picked up a bunch of black walnuts and stomped on them to remove the green hulls. I put them in a wire fish basket to dry. Before I hung the fish basket up, I set it on the lawn next to the driveway and went and got the hose to wash some more of hulls and juice off the nuts. When I got done and picked up the fish basket to hang it in the garage, I found 2 dozen night crawlers around and under the basket. I'm guessing that strong tannic acid that got washed off those walnuts, drove the worms out of the ground.

The reason why it works is because worms have this response to when they feel the vibrations of moles digging to go to the surface and avoid them and when you worm grunt it makes the same type of vibrations.

Well hot damn! I'm an old salt and I've been fishing for 50 years and I " thought" it was a bunch of worm shit but figured to give it a shot. I have a 5,000 gallon koi pond but I have seven or eight largemouth bass and some of them are pretty good and they eat a lot. I couldn't keep them fed buying feeder fish at the pet store at $0.20 a piece simply because it cost a fortune. Buying shiners wholesale was a pain in the butt both in cost and in keeping them alive. Them first don't want no dead bait. Stupid as it was I made a grunting stick out of wood and I made one out of inch and a quarter PVC pipe. I just used the chop saw and cut little V's into the PVC for my notches. The first time I tried it I swear by all that's holy big old worms for basically shooting out of the ground. I kid you not they were fast coming out and they mowed it away like they were snakes. They weren't night crawlers and they weren't little red wigglers they were some kind of worm that was just the perfect size. Well I'm able to catch enough just wandering around my acre to keep the fish fed and they keep coming. I really can't believe I'd never heard of this! It's strange but the worms back out of the ground most of the time and then flip over and motor away. Sometimes there are so many that I can't grab them all so I just go for the biggest. Try it and if you've never seen a fast worm you're in for a treat. ( Plus it's fun when your a simpleton)

Didn’t believe it…., but thank you for the short and sweet video. I’m a believer!

The real explanation behind that phenomenon was worm thought that sound was coming from a mole (blind mammals that dig underground to hunt worms) so as adaptation to survive, worm goes up simply because they thought moles are coming to eat them. Sorry for my grammar

Actually, earthworms cant hear but they can feel the vibrations. So the vibrations when you worm grunt are supposed to be similar to when moles dig in the ground. Worms have a brain that connects with nerves from their skin and muscles.

My theory is the worms instinctively are programmed to investigate vibrations of potential animals moving around and crapping or eating on the ground surface knowing that is a potential rich nutrient food source

You can also use the stump of the sapling to get them out. Using a saw they will come out around 10-15 ft around the sapling

Works like a charm

Yeah! Ted ed channel released the video yesterday about summoning worms

Studies have concluded that the vibrations mimic that of moles digging, hunting the worms. The worms leaves their holes to escape predation. So cool! Great video!

Awesome!!

I hadn't done this in about 40 years. Used to do it the night before a fishing day as a kid in Texas, and always got gobs of worms. But now I live in northeast Washington State, and tried for hours last night, in several spots, and found zero worms. Wonder why that is. BTW, I learned this technique from my grandpa's brother. And he told me NEVER use a live sapling. He always said a good piece of lumber or a dead piece of hardwood on the forest floor is always better than killing a sapling that could grow into a larger tree, that will provide more food for more worms. He said when you use saplings, you're limiting your worm hunting in the future

So cool, I just caught a pink little lizard and wanted to feed him, now I know how I can do it without shoping!

Seagulls do that stuff with their feet, they learned themselves over time, smart birds

I looked into, apparently it has the same frequency as a mole digging, it has nothing to do with what we hear but that vibration! It's not perfect but it does work.

This is awesome. Thanks for the tutorial!

I heard the real reason it works is because it mimics the sound of moles, a top worm predator.

Interesting I’m gonna give it a shot

Yes, popular around here and there is even a festival not too far every year.

I’ve been doing this since a kiddo, 67 in July. Never made a stick like that. Garden fork in the ground and tap on it, or a piece of wood and tap. I like your attitude and laugh. I’ve show this to a bunch of kids over the years.Weeding a garden bed today and some started rising. Took a break and found your video.

Could you do this with a couple pieces of rebar? I like wood better, but I already have lengths of rebar around and it'd be heavy but wouldn't rot. I'm not sure if it would work because the sound would be quite different.

00:20 - Try this: Cut that sapling to 2 or 3 feet tall, but don't cut it down. ==> Notch THAT sapling in place, still rooted to the ground. Cut your sweep stick from the tree top you just tossed off in the woods. Pull the sapling back a little to make it bend over a bit, but don't break or crack it. Now stroke it with the 'sweep' stick. This uses the root as vibration carriers. Also, your work of art will still be there next year, since that short tree is still alive! Neat huh! I know...you can't take it with you... But you can always sit next to it next year and carve your portable grunt stick set. 7.10.2023 -- North Central Florida

(I’m not an expert) when wetting the ground (maybe like a 5x5 ft area) , do the grunting sorta lightly I’m sure it mimics rain and that’s why we see them all around the driveways during storms along with because the impact makes small vibrations from water of course. But idk, could be wrong

Gotta try this!

i think it feels like rain to the worms and they come out ...We used to collect them for fishing by using dish soap / washing up liquid and water ...pour it on the ground and wait 10 minutes and they will come to the surface

Good to put in you’re tackle box when you’re running low on bait

Thanks man!! Always waste 75 percent of my worms from the store..never again!!

Pour dishwashing liquid on the ground 😊 works.

the worms think it's raining by the sound and vibration, then come up so they don't drownd. my grandfather told me.

To the worms it’s saying hey plenty of rain coming down come out! Worms love thunderstorms

I tried it, it actually works

Do it in a flower bed or garden area and I bet you’ll get dozens upon dozens of them

i think that it's supposed to sound like rain hitting the dirt so the worms come to the surface

I've been to two horse shows & three county fairs & I aint never seen nothing like this.

There's another technique where you carve it flat, hammer it in the ground about a foot and basically do the same thing

Time to go fishing!

In Denmark they're called rainworms - because they come up, when it rains, so they don't drown. This activates the same reflex as dripping water, is the theory, and it sounds legit to me. And it works in daylight, unlike just picking them up on wet short grass at night, using a red lamp - and NOT stamping at all, as they are fast as fuk to pull back into the hole.
