im from kent and ragworm are an easy source of bait here, if you know where? they seem to like gulleys with silty mud and black underneath..i know a place u can dig them at a huge size of approx 20 inches plus!! M&A tackle in sheerness sell them but they are done by weight so very few for money but they do good mixed packs. very successful float bait for pollock,bass,wrasse etc..

Having lived in UK and USA and fished both I know these as Ragworm for UK and Sandworm in USA. Biggest Sandworms I came across where in USA and they were long and quite aggressive
I reckon the best way to present them is with a baiting needle and make sure nothing is left dangling. They kill for Striper, Porgy and in UK European Sea Bass. I have had Plaice and flounder along with Tope on these.

For some reason the fridge method works best for long term preservation. I guess you would need to simulate tides and provide food if you bucket them! The fridge slows them down, allowing them to be kept longer
