NED-Stick • Bloodworm • 8-pack
Bottom-dwelling food profile for humus, mud and sluggish fish.
Bloodworm doesn't sell on quick reaction - it sells on looking edible where the fish are already looking for food. The red/brown worm feel is suitable for bottom fishing, humus water and perch picking small prey from the bottom.

Why Bloodworm should be in the box
Many bites on NED come when the bait is still or moving minimally. Bloodworm enhances that feeling by looking more like something bottom-dwelling than a flying bait.
This makes it especially interesting when fish are eating low, slow and close to structure.
Problem The fish does not hunt actively and needs a bait that feels like simple bottom food.
Solution Reddish brown food profile that works slowly, low and controlled.
Buy it to have a bottom-focused choice when the perch are picking rather than chasing.
Quick choice by the water
- Best when humus water, soft bottom, mud, clouds, after rain and slower periods.
- Species Perch first, pike perch at a slow pace over the bottom.
- Bottom Mud, diving edges, gravel, rocks, vegetation edges and soft transitions.
- First, avoid actively hunting small fish high in the water - then a baitfish profile is better suited.
This is how you fish it
- Fish close to the bottom and rest the bait often.
- Pull the bait briefly as if it is crawling, not running away.
- Allow extra time for mud/rock transitions.
- When the cuts are careful: reduce the movement and wait longer.
Color logic
Reddish-brown tones can give an organic, bottom-dwelling signal rather than a pure prey profile. In colored water, overall contrast is often more important than exact color shade.
Bloodworm exploits this by selling 'easy food' instead of panic-stricken flight.
CNW Recommendation Choose Bloodworm when you think the fish are eating from the bottom. It is a NED color for slow conviction.
