So what exactly is the difference between European Nightcrawlers and Canadian Nightcrawlers?

European Nightcrawlers are much more active than Canadian Nightcrawlers. They will kick and fight you when you try to put them on a hook, unlike Canadians that just sit there.

European Nightcrawlers are smaller (2 in.-4 in. long) than Canadian Nightcrawlers that are usually 6 in. to 8 in. long. So you don't have to cut them into pieces to get them on your hook.

European Nightcrawlers don't have to be refrigerated. They can take temperatures from 40 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Canadian Nightcrawlers, on the other hand, must stay in temperatures from around 35 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit or else they'll die.

European Nightcrawlers are tough. European nightcrawlers have been still active on a hook after 30 minutes underneth 18 inches of ice! They are the only worm that can be used in both fresh and salt water!

European Nightcrawlers catch fish! I've have personally fished with these worms and have caught two fish using the same worm!

European Nightcrawlers are sometimes called Giant Redworms, Belgium Worms, Tiger Worms and Dendrobeana Veneta. (Its Latin name is Eisenia Hortensis.) European Nightcrawlers are NOT Regular Redworms (Eisenia Foetida).

European Nightcrawlers are one of the finest fishing worms around.

European Nightcrawlers have been recently introduced to the U.S and are rapidly growing in popularity as a bait and live food worm. European Nightcrawlers have even been active after 30 minutes underneath 18 inches of ice!

Besides being excellent fishing worms, European Nightcrawlers are a nutritious meal for your pets! Unlike Canadian Nightcrawlers, European Nightcrawlers don't have to be cut into pieces before you feed them to your medium and large size reptiles and turtles.

European Nightcrawlers can even be used in composting.

European Nightcrawlers are the most active when temperatures are between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, but can take temperatures from 40 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Most European Nightcrawlers weigh 1.0 to 1.5 grams each and are about 1/4 the size of Canadian Nightcrawlers.

When it comes to finding a great bait worm, the European Nightcrawler stands head and shoulders of above the competition!
