Some FAQ
How many fishing worms can I expect to end up with from my pack of 400+ cocoons?
Our extensive testing and trials show that given the right conditions our cocoons hatch out rate is approximately 80%. Each cocoon contains one worm however every fifth cocoon contains twins (two worms). This gives us around a 1 for 1 ratio, so for 400 cocoons you should end up with about 400 worms. We’re always generous with our cocoon counts so you should end up with at least 450 worms from each of our cocoon packs.
How long will it take from setting the cocoons to being able to harvest bait size worms?
The general rule of thumb is approximately 5 months being 2 months to hatch the cocoons out and then another 10 -12 weeks to grow the worms out to a decent bait size. However, there are many factors that can influence growth rates such as the ambient temperature and general health of your system.
