Many different kinds of worms are used by the angler, but the following four are held in higher estimation. The Black-Headed worm: this worm is usually found in good garden soil, or among heaps of decayed rubbish, and may be known by being free from the knot that most worms have. As its names signifies, it has a black head, and when taken from the earth is of a darkish colour throughout, which it loses when scoured, becoming of a clear reddish tinge. As an angling baits it deserves the first rank (Aporrectodea longa Length: 90–120 mm). The Brandling is the only to be found in an old dunghill or similar place, and it may be known by being ringed all round, with a knot a little above the middle; it is also flatter in shape than most worms. We hold this worm in great repute; it is also in general of the very size the angler would wish.(Eisenia fetida 60 to 120 Millimeter, diameter 3 tp 6 mm)
