It's to inflate the worm to be bigger then it is and to help keep it off bottom. It's a ***** for worms?

Back in the late 60's and early 70's Al Linder and a magazine called "Fishing Facts" promoted "worm blowing" to lift a worm slightly off the bottom using a "Lindy rig". My loacal CTC store had a discount bin with a few worm blowers in it resently.

 

I've used them many years ago but after stabbing myself a few times I gave it up. Slip bobbers , light florocarbon leaders and smaller hooks are just as effective if not better for fishing WORMS. Properly rigged and presented I can drift a worm much easier with a slip bobber at any depth that I coud using a Lindy type rig. I also get a lot few snags that way too.

actually this fish came on an inflated worm, early spring cold water, from a farm pond. The fish weren`t taking lures, my brother had brought along some crawlers and was fishing for the huge bluegill in the pond.

 

I put on a slip bobber set so the weight would drag the bottom, tied on about an 18 mono leader and a #6 eagle claw hook. Hooked the crawler once through the nose, shot some air into it to keep it off the bottom.

 

A cold breezy day, I didn`t see a hit, the bobber just stopped drifting, it was enough for me to decide on a hook set.

 

as I recall 19 inch 4# 15 ounces, actually had it weighed at the corner store by mom`s house. 30 years ago? they still looked big then. It went into mom`s goldfish pond, lasted all year but the winter freeze was too much for it. One of the last fish I had mounted.

 

Lindy made the worm blowers, maybe some other outfits too? It does help keep the bait out of junk and visible.

Next time you are at your doctor's office, ask for a syringe. It works the best. I believe you can get them at BassPro if you want one. Basically it is a little bottle with a needle on it, you stick it in the worm and stuff it full of air so it floats off the bottom. Works great with a Lindy rig for walleye fishing the northern lakes.
