My granddad actually had two steel rods, one with notches to put in the ground and one for rubbing against the first! He would use them in the flower garden and always seemed to get the worms to come up. The rods were about 1/2 inch in diameter and 18" long. He always told me to push the rod about 10" in the ground and never hold the top, because it reduced the amount of vibration. I could get it to work in the garden but never in the yard, I now think it might of had something to do with the soil density but I'm not sure!? I love the fact that you don't give up and you just get away from it and think on it so you can give it a shot again some day :) Great video my friend! Atb Sty
I made one of these in my last video. Some spots didn't produce any worms at all. Wooded areas with leaf litter seemed to work the best for me. It's not 100 percent successful, but I'm a believer.
Clever video, but no matter what you say, that really is an ugly jacket. Thanks for not having loud "music" on your video. The sound of the river is all you need,
I agree about the music. I learned a long time ago that the "music" was a distraction and that, like myself, most who watch my videos enjoy the music of Nature much better. As for the jacket I can accept you think the jacket is ugly but I really like it and to be honest it has become a symbol of my channel. If this one ever gets worn out I will be getting another one I'm sure.
ngl the thing about his jacket was stright up rude .. his jacket doesnt look bad .. and i really liked his reply to this crappy comment .. instead of getting mad or anything he was really nice
We use to have an electric thing to stick in the ground to make worms come out back in the 70s lol right up until my brother got jolted then mom made dad throw it away LOL
I'm sure that it could work. From this video, rather the comments on this video, I have learned more than I ever really need or care to know about this topic. It was fun and entertaining but I'll stick to a shovel or going out during a good rain. Plus there is always bait shops.
Also more notches on the stick help and let the rubbing stick in hand hit the ground like a thumping effect off the rubbing sticking as you go up and down helps the vibration effect
I can see it working also. Maybe still to cold. Worms really come out after it's 75 don't they. And red worms and Earth worms maybe different. Maybe get some night crawlers but weight till it's warmer out. But have you ever tried Dawn dish soap and water I hear it works. I don't remember if I tried that when I was younger. Can't remember when I was told that. But there's the rods you could buy that shocks the ground makes worms come up. But so many fake things and editing you can make it happen when it's not really happing so I won't believe till someone I believe tryed and it works. But bummer this didn't work I really was thinking it would. Thanks for trying for us. God bless
Bentley's Backwoods Bushcraft if you look up Catfish and carp channel Mr Luke. He did this back in 2015 and emailed someone then found out when to and how to. And you only need to do 15 to 20 sec at a time and it worked. But he had a different stick had different notches. I should go get the link. But he used soap electric and these sticks but he called it something else starts with a g man I hate forgetting I'll go get a link.
Here it is but he's got a great fishing channel. I've been following almost 2 years now come oct or so. But love his channle. But here.th-cam.com/video/MEr-BTa7Ucw/w-d-xo.html
sounds good to me. that and others said the dirt was to loosely packed for the vibrations to really go through. thanks much for the advice will help out if I ever try that again.
sounds good. another great tip to add to the list. When I did this video I had no clue that there were so many people that did this. I am glad it turned out as a fail. I have gotten so many comments on how to improve it. Thanks much
Go find a spot where oak leaves are a few inches thick and the soil is dark and give it a try. The worms help to decompose leaves and turn it onto good soil.
thanks much, if I ever decide to try this again I will be sure to add your wisdom to the many helpful hints given me about working these sticks properly.
I'm sure it will work. The worms in the bucket ain't in their natural environment, and so don't have tunnels made to shoot to the surface. Also they were disturbed just before doing the test. Might give it a go myself, and see if I've better luck. Cheers, good video!👍
Minktrappingpaddy the worms in the bucket were cold having been refrigerated. The soil seemed unevenly dry, and it was pretty much doomed from the start. This was over a year ago, and so I hope by now he has perfected the art, otherwise there’s a lake full of fish died of starvation from not stealing his bait off the hook!
try on freshly mown lawn spray with water first best done early morning or evening, i use some wet sacking left for a while, slowly peel the sack back and pick up the worms as you go ,,,,easy
this was a spur of the moment thing that I thought I'd give a try. It was fun and the comments have been informative but I think I'll stick to either a shovel or going out in a good rain. Two ways I'm sure to get worms or even more sure just take a short trip to a bait store before hand. The Worm Stick was fun and I have learned a lot from the comments but it is truly nothing I'd rely on to get worms. Much easier to dig them up than try this stick vibration technique.
very true but it had been raining so everywhere was wet. I was hoping that being wet any in the area would be close to the surface. it was fun to play with but going out during a rain storm or digging with a shovel is more effective for me so I may get it out and play with it again but I'll stick to the two ways that work best, besides going to a bait store of course.
I know this is an old video and maybe you've learned since, but your ground is WAY too wet. You had standing water in one spot. Find a damp, leaf covered area, but not wet.
it is old, and worm catching, at least this way... nothing since then. Only did this video just to give it a go. I stick to my most favorite way. Wait for it to be raining at night and go out and get them. haven't learned a thing about that method since. It was fun, had a great time out that day and enjoy reading the comments this video has given me. To my way of thinking this video worked out great for me.
thanks much. I should get that stick out again an give it another go. I found it, most randomly, a few days ago while looking for something else. Something I thought would be fun to try and play with. gotten a lot of good advice on how to make this work or just work better.
Your carved stick is way too short, you only have 4 cuts in it, it should be about triple that. You also stuck it in water logged dense packed soil. Worms don't like to live in dense packed soil that's water logged. You have to rub the stick harder. That light rattling you're doing doesn't help. Go in the woods where the soil is rich, looser and damp, not sopping wet. Clear away a good circle of leaves with a rake, put a longer rattle stick in the middle of the cleared circle, hold on to it and rub the stick for at least 15 seconds with good pressure. Drive those vibrations into the ground. The worms get scared and try to escape what they think is a disaster by coming up to the surface. Also, it's best to do it early in the morning before the dew burns off for the day.
thanks much. this was my first and most likely only attempt at this. did it as on a whim and thought it would be fun to give a go. I think I'll stick to either picking them up on raining nights or digging a bit with a small shovel. much more simple and less complicated. It was fun to try but I think I'll stick to other means for worms.
ok. I hope you didn't expect me to get all worked up about that. It is amazing how much falls out peoples mouths when they are sitting on their duffs and tapping on a keyboard.
thanks much for the advice. sounds like some really good info. I recently dug that stick back out, I think I will make them deeper, if I decide to play with it again.
I appreciate the advice on how to work the "worm getter" I still have that set of sticks, I may dig them out and give it another go. If I do I will surely film it.
Dude! if there were any worms there and if they were gonna come up 10 seconds of vibrating is more than enough time. move to another place an try again. and the jacket is pathetic
thanks for the comment. I agree if there were any there they should have came up. As far as the jacket go's I comprehend you don't like the jacket, my advice to you is not to get one yourself then. But thanks for the time you spent watching the video, commenting and disliking my very awesome jacket.
That is a good question and the answer may be too long for this comment box. First off it was fun and I had a fun time doing it so I wanted to share it. more important I have learned a long time ago that the best way to learn from something is from it not working or going quite right. I don' t like to use the word fail because it may not have worked but it sure wasn't a failure. some of my most important experiences have has come from "fails" or losses or however you want to define them. I have been sent many comments about this worm stick some with good intent and others with ill but with it all I am sure that others along with myself have learned a bit from this stick not working for me, this time. I am not skilled with this technique and I'm sure I have made some or many errors with it the beauty is that we all can learn, not just me, from this video. We now know at least one way to not do it. So that is why I posted. First it was just plain fun and second learning from something doesn't always means it worked to learn from it. Thanks much for your wonderful question and I hope this explains why I posted it.
Your grooves aren't deep enough. Your trying to make a specific frequency not just a noise. Think the vibration that would drive a female wild, same vibration will tickle the worms right out of the ground.
how true that statement really is. it is all about vibration, the reason things are what they are is because of its vibration. Enough about Quantum Physics, I was digging about my storage shed and found that worm stick. may get it out and play around with it again.
Bentley's Backwoods Bushcraft yeah I hear you ! I give you credit man , I'll never forget my stepfather built a worm shocker when I was a kid and I seen him stick the metal rod in the ground and hook up the battery terminals and dozens came up out of the ground fast ,but I thought it was kind of cruel and he didn't use it anymore after that but he said why we just put them on the hook after anyway lol I guess I was just really young and felt bad for shocking them worms lol but I got over it !
You need something like a wooden steak like the engineer use to mark locations... drive it in the ground at a slight angle, take a brick and the stick will vibrate a and yes the worms will come up. Dude your sticks are to green
I can only guess as to what your comment is meaning to relay. one word and a question mark really isn't enough to form a response around. I can guess as to the meaning and be wrong, but I doubt my assumption is wrong. However, if you would like to elaborate on your comment I would be glad to respond. At this point my only real response can be ... Really ?
could be, I really don't know much about it. I was thinking that wet ground = worms come up, if they were there. Again not really skilled with this, just wanted to give it a go.
it was neither but I was still wasting my time. I have no real xp in this technique and after reading comments have learned how not skilled I am at this. But I did have fun with it and to me that is a good enough reason to do it.
translated to "they all sleep" I'm guessing that can be translated into there all sleeping so they aren't coming to surface? that may be but I think it has to do more with the fact I really had no clue what I was doing. Was the first time trying it... had fun and enjoyed it that's all I care about.
Yeah, I had no clue. I wanted to give it a go and I did. I'm good, truly think I would be better off just digging a hole or waiting for rain. Worm stick just isn't my thing.
What is the point here? Maybe you should have done a pretest before making a video. What a waste of time for all who watched this video. Vibrations to call worms to the top really does work. I have seen it work on other videos. So why did you make the video anyway??
I will be glad to answer all your questions. the point : just to give it a try. pretest : no, the hole point was to experience it for the first time, and to share that experience. I can see how you feel it was a waste of time, no argument there. For me it wasn't a waste of time I learned a lot from that and from the comments. I, as well have been told it works well. Why ? well I was curious to see if I could do it as well and just for fun.
Put the notches deeper and closer together- and much longer notch stick- I’ve done it and got worms for over 60 yrs- I’m 73 and it still works for me
awesome. I did it for fun and most likely wont do it again. I think I have a better chance just digging for them.
20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.
my plan worked (laughing with an evilness as I rub my grubby hands and twist my long dark mustache).
me too🤣🤣🤣
Love hearing the cardinals in the background of your video ...
I'm glad you enjoyed. my two favorite birds to listen to are cardinals and redwinged blackbirds.
This shows that not all experiments results in a satisfactory outcome. Adjust and try again. Thank you for sharing.
for sure, not every attempt works.

sounds like a shocking experience. this was a fun project but I really think just digging in the ground is much easier. thanks much for stopping by.
It does work but you do need to find the right spot. Go to a wooded area with a lot of dead leaves on the ground.
I'm sure that it could work. From this video, rather the comments on this video, I have learned more than I ever really need or care to know about this topic. It was fun and entertaining but I'll stick to a shovel or going out during a good rain. Plus there is always bait shops.
@@cagedraptor This little trick was once listed in Boy's Life Magazine in the early 60s.
great looking jacket will try sticks next time out, good stuff.
thanks much, they are fun to play with but I have never had any luck with them. Love the jacket myself. thanks for coming by.
Also more notches on the stick help and let the rubbing stick in hand hit the ground like a thumping effect off the rubbing sticking as you go up and down helps the vibration effect
thanks much, that is very helpful and informative, much better than just calling me a goof ball
Good to see some folks trying this out. I know that a cattle prod on a wet lawn works.
+MI Timberwookie I'm sure it would work, I've just not been able to get it to work yet.

Worms move faster in moist dirt. That dirt in the bucket looked pretty dry so then they weren't able to move quik enough
sounds good to me. that and others said the dirt was to loosely packed for the vibrations to really go through. thanks much for the advice will help out if I ever try that again.
Yup no problem, just tryen to help out
You have to do it in the early morning or late night. Even in the dark
sounds good. another great tip to add to the list. When I did this video I had no clue that there were so many people that did this. I am glad it turned out as a fail. I have gotten so many comments on how to improve it. Thanks much
Be careful, that stick could cause snipes to stampede.
I have to say I think this is my favorite comment yet. Thanks much and have a blessed day.
Very cool!! I might have to try that!
still haven't tried again, may do it just for gp
Go find a spot where oak leaves are a few inches thick and the soil is dark and give it a try. The worms help to decompose leaves and turn it onto good soil.

a very good way to get worms. lifting up stones and bricks works also. I like going out during a nice rain and getting them as they come up.
I’ve always done this in a leaf covered, somewhat damp area and have always had good results.
this was a spur of the moment thing that I thought I'd give a try. It was fun and the comments have been informative but I think I'll stick to either a shovel or going out in a good rain.

The idea behind this, is the worms think that a mole is coming to eat them. The mole won't follow them above ground.
thanks for your comment.
great idee
have a nice day
Guido
+survival-Kurse It looked like one. Lot of work and, as of yet, haven't got it to work yet.
Every place you tried was a bad spot for worms, try a place with leaf litter, loose soil is a good indication pf worm activity.
thanks much for the advice.
I'll have to try it in a known area, like my back yard I just left 3500 miles behind LOL
sounds good

The last spot u tried u had no patience for, u did it for only 15 20 seconds. Just a bit longer and that would have been a hot spot

Shoot. I wanted you to get some worms. maybe next time. saw that centipede going crazy. really hoped it was a worm. tfs :)
thanks much
thanks much for stopping by and watching. I was hoping for worms as well. But it was fun and made for a good video anyway.
Worm getter has forgot more about the outdoors than u will ever know city dude
ok. I hope you didn't expect me to get all worked up about that. It is amazing how much falls out peoples mouths when they are sitting on their duffs and tapping on a keyboard.
Your notches need to be deeper for more vibration
thanks much for the advice. sounds like some really good info. I recently dug that stick back out, I think I will make them deeper, if I decide to play with it again.
U have to scrape it in a rhythmic way plz make another video plz
I appreciate the advice on how to work the "worm getter" I still have that set of sticks, I may dig them out and give it another go. If I do I will surely film it.

@@cagedraptor you are right
@@cagedraptor answer is too long
Your grooves aren't deep enough. Your trying to make a specific frequency not just a noise. Think the vibration that would drive a female wild, same vibration will tickle the worms right out of the ground.
thanks much for the info.
Need to give it a try@@cagedraptor
It all about the vibration,
how true that statement really is. it is all about vibration, the reason things are what they are is because of its vibration. Enough about Quantum Physics, I was digging about my storage shed and found that worm stick. may get it out and play around with it again.
To be honest the ground where you are looks to wet for worms.
very, just had rained.
great try man you'll figure something out lol good luck ☺
+FlyGuy78 I'm not going to stop, it has become a vendetta at this point. I will get it to work, I hope.

thanks much
You need something like a wooden steak like the engineer use to mark locations... drive it in the ground at a slight angle, take a brick and the stick will vibrate a and yes the worms will come up. Dude your sticks are to green
thanks much. I don't know much about it. Thought I'd give it a go. I appreciate your comment. very helpful and not just downing me on it.
Really ?
I can only guess as to what your comment is meaning to relay. one word and a question mark really isn't enough to form a response around. I can guess as to the meaning and be wrong, but I doubt my assumption is wrong. However, if you would like to elaborate on your comment I would be glad to respond. At this point my only real response can be ... Really ?
I think maybe your initial sites was too wet?
could be, I really don't know much about it. I was thinking that wet ground = worms come up, if they were there. Again not really skilled with this, just wanted to give it a go.
If the ground is clay or too sandy - your wasting your time
it was neither but I was still wasting my time. I have no real xp in this technique and after reading comments have learned how not skilled I am at this. But I did have fun with it and to me that is a good enough reason to do it.
Bait rake!
Badass! Jacket!Walker knifes florence s.c.,badtobone! Knifes cut the others in half!

они же все спят
translated to "they all sleep" I'm guessing that can be translated into there all sleeping so they aren't coming to surface? that may be but I think it has to do more with the fact I really had no clue what I was doing. Was the first time trying it... had fun and enjoyed it that's all I care about.
Go slower with the stick you're going too fast try it slower
Yeah, I had no clue. I wanted to give it a go and I did. I'm good, truly think I would be better off just digging a hole or waiting for rain. Worm stick just isn't my thing.
What is the point here? Maybe you should have done a pretest before making
a video. What a waste of time for all who watched this video. Vibrations to
call worms to the top really does work. I have seen it work on other videos.
So why did you make the video anyway??
I will be glad to answer all your questions. the point : just to give it a try. pretest : no, the hole point was to experience it for the first time, and to share that experience. I can see how you feel it was a waste of time, no argument there. For me it wasn't a waste of time I learned a lot from that and from the comments. I, as well have been told it works well.

give up mate
The only time you ever truly fail at anything is when you give up. So nope don't think I will.
Duh
sounds good
😪😴😪😴😪💤💤
very unskilled, but if I ever need I have a bit of experience. But in truth I'd just dig, much easier.
If I watched it to the end that would be 20 minutes of my life well waisted. Crap.
I try to be nice and polite to everyone who leaves their opinions on my videos. So I'll stop right here. Have a nice day.
