Yes they do work.
But there are more pleasant ways of getting bait!

Remember to wear gloves:) there used to be a big pile of cow dung,muck, plants etc, piled up by farmer, beside where we used to fish. You couldn dig an inch without seeing a worm. Great for the perch in the river.

Or you could try a fly called the Okey Dokey. It's sort of maggoty looking and has a bright orange head. No need to dig through poo then!:D
