This is an excellent squirmy worm material - it floats, so using it as a tounce of a clam pattern (killer for carp) will allow the worm to rise up and dance above the clam. It is also excellent for tying the simple, but deadly, squirmy worm. Be sure to read your fishing regulations carefully, as this material tied on a hook is considered bait in Oregon and is illegal to fish on most rivers.
