We really think you will love our wholesale European Nightcrawlers!!! The all occasion worms.

When you are looking around, you will see these European nightcrawlers marketed as; Jumbo Red Worms, Panfish Worms, Trout Worms, Leaf Worms, Belgian Night Crawlers, Euro’s, pan fish worms and several other names.

Our wholesale European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia Hortensis) are a larger cousin to the Red Worm but smaller than the Canadian night crawler (which can be TOO big), making them the ideal live bait pan fish worms. European nightcrawlers also tougher, stay alive longer and are much more active than other types of fishing worms. They are the only earthworm suitable for use as ice fishing bait; they will stay alive even after long periods of icy water submersion.

European Nightcrawlers are without a doubt the best bait worm on the market, and they make excellent pan fish worms. They are great for Sunfish, Bass, Trout and even Walleye!

You can keep these worms between 38 and 78 degrees with no problems, we do recommend refrigeration if you are going to store longer than 2 weeks. If you are looking for a tough fish catching bait worm, these guys are for you!

Our European Nightcrawlers are all bait size (2"- 3") not bed run. Many people sell the worms by bed run (all sizes mixed). You may get 250 large ones or 1,000 small worms. But most likely you will get a mix which makes it very difficult for counting large quantities.

This is ideal bait for fishing because you don’t have to refrigerate them to keep their fishing appeal.

European Nightcrawlers can also be used as a composting worm, they will grow longer and fatter than its cousin the Red Worm; they will eat their weight in food every day.

European Nightcrawlers like their soil more moist than the Red Worm and are not as prolific. The European Night Crawlers and the common Red Worm can coexist peacefully in a composting bin since they have similar characteristics. They are perfect for people who love to fish and garden.

Worm Care: European Night Crawlers must be removed from the bag they are shipped in and transferred into a new container with fresh bedding and stored at 60-80ºF. They are shipped in enough bedding for shipping, not enough to live in.

They may lose some weight in shipping because they are shipped in dry bedding so the temps don't affect them too much. Spray a little water on them and put them in fresh bedding when you receive them and they will gain their weight back real soon (2 - 4 days). Their bedding material serves as their food source.

For bedding, you can use chemical free peat moss, shredded paper and water. Add enough water until a few water drops drip when you squeeze it like a sponge.

You can feed them worm chow, or table scraps.

Customer comments:

I have ordered from Speedy Worm before, and plan to do so in the future. The quality and speed of delivery has been fantastic. High quality European night crawlers and the grubs I ordered are unsurpassed. Shipping to my house took only 3 days, and the bait(s) were just as lively as if I picked them myself. I have ordered from other bait dealers before, but will only now purchase from Speedy Worm I feel sorry for people who DO NOT order from Speedy Worm because their purchase cannot match the quality of Speedy Worm.

~~~JEFF WALSH, DICKSON CITY, PA ~~~

The European Nightcrawlers came when expected. And are a very active bunch of worms. We had fun with them the first few nights as they kept crawling out of their bed (box) but then we started to leave 2 night lights on close to the bed and it seems to have stopped their adventures in the night.
Thank You for your help in getting a worm bed going.

Positive Rating Great Worms Great Seller
From Philip Salzarulo of Norco, California on 7/29/2020.

Worms arrived overnight healthy and active despite the temps in the 90’s. Debbie was very helpful in getting me started and suggested I use a small shoplight to keep the shy little critters from going exploring outside their plastic tub. Works brilliantly... so far not a single escapee. Already nailed a few Strippers at the lake with my home raised bait. My chickens, African Cichlids and garden is as happy as I am. Nicely done Speedy Worm 🙂

Positive Rating 2 months later - all good!
From Chris of Valley Stream, New York on 7/13/2020.

I posted on 5/31 about my hands-and-knees effort to capture my worms because I left the bag open. I’m happy to report they all are happy and healthy, 45-days later. I keep them in an old, Honey Baked Ham styrofoam container, with small holes drilled in the top for air. Once a week I agitate the soil a bit and give them some lawn clippings or vegetable scraps. Worms are doing great. The fish love them too!

From Ken B of Roselle, Illinois on 7/9/2020.

I was a little concerned shipping Europeans during our recent heatwave (90s & above); however, all arrived alive and well. They all scurried into new bedding upon placement. I would purchase again.

3.5 out of 10. I have excellent bedding, refer at 45. Lasted 2 weeks- dead. Baited not more than in 2 weeks. All went dead. Previous purchases were Canadian- awesome.!

Positive Rating Europe Crawlers
From James Calder of SAULT S MARIE, Michigan on 6/12/2020.

Update on my first review. These little "boogers" are growing fast and are just about the right size. We have been using them chasing "eyes" and they are working great plus they seem to be a lot tougher than Canadian crawlers. Stay alive longer. Very easy to maintain. Anyway, they work. Try some and you'll be hooked also.

From Ron Gardner of Dansville, Michigan on 6/4/2020.

Living out in the country on a small private lake I have a 30 minute drive to the nearest bait store. These worms are just what I needed. Came in as stated. Nice and lively. Very firm and tough on the hook. My bluegills love them. Shipping was a bit pricey but the quality made it worth it.

Positive Rating Fast Service and Great Worms
From Michael OBerry of Lubbock, Texas on 6/1/2020.

Cannot say enough about Speedy Worms. The shipment was fast, and they kept me notified about the status of the worms throughout the whole process. I would order again in a heartbeat. The worms arrived healthy and are going to town in my compost pile!

Positive Rating Perfect Worms & Speedy Too
From Long Island Angler of Valley Stream, New York on 5/31/2020.

The worms arrived ahead of time and in perfect condition. I read the instructions online, opened the bag, wet them and they immediately became more active. I could not be happier with the quality of the product.

For anyone ordering for the first time, be ready to put them in their new home right away. I got distracted and left them in my garage with their bag open after wetting them. When I returned a couple hours later, 250 worms were everywhere! Those speedy little things got under shelves, my workbench, between bicycles. I laughed for 20 minutes as I crawled on my hands and knees tracking them down. Lesson learned.

From Anonymous of Sedro Woolley, Washington on 5/14/2020.

Worms arrived in great condition. Went straight into my worm farm. Very active! Had to watch for escapees but that was a good sign. They’ve settled in now and have plumped up perfectly. Did I mention all this at a great price? Did have to pay a bit for shipping.
