What is Ragworm?

Ragworm is a common sea fishing worm found between the low and high tide marks. There are two main types:

• King Ragworm (Alitta virens) – Larger worms, up to 12 inches

• Smaller Ragworm (Perinereis cultrifera) – Ideal for targeting smaller species

Their natural scent and lively movement in the water make them irresistible to feeding fish, whether you’re fishing from the shore, pier, or boat.

How to Rig Live Ragworm

Ragworm can be used on:

• 1, 2 or 3 hook flapper rigs

• Pennel rigs

• Clipped rigs for distance casting

• Larger worms for targeting rays

Thread the worm carefully onto the hook, leaving the hook gape visible for maximum hook-up rate.
