    Hi Chris. I’ve been buying worms off you for years locally. I had no idea how big an operation you had going on. And just for anyone watching these are the best worms you can buy. Chris is very reliable and friendly. I buy mine for personal use by the kilo every few month but I know a lot of tackle shops buy from chris and they are the best.
