ARE NIGHT CRAWLERS GOOD FOR SALT WATER FISHING

Night crawlers are better for brackish water fishing than are red wigglers. Red wigglers can't take the salt. I am not sure how night crawlers do in salt water, but the red wigglers won't do at all.

Yes, I would never use this in saltwater, also I would not use it for anything bigger than Bluegill or Sunfish if you want it to last, its just not a quality piece.

I use it for terminal tackle for Salt Water fishing. Cutter is great but I don't like the teeth of the pliers. They do not line up perfectly so you can not grab thin fishing line (especially braid) if you are trying to cinch a knot.

I think so...I got this for my Grandson that does night bug hunting and he loves it! I hope this helps!

I didn't have any luck with the works i bought from a bait shop. Its my understanding that they are usually night crawlers which aren't the ideal composting worms.

Yes, but it is designed for freshwater. You should probably get a more sturdy reel for saltwater fishing.

No problem with saltwater. Just make sure you keep any salt evaporation on the leds to a minimum.

Like Capt Billy I use mine on downriggers for offshore king salmon and inland lake trout and kamloop fishing. 3 to 35+lb fish with up to 11" flashers and 4-6" spoons, hoochies and bait rigs work good. Not sure this is the best rod for smaller fish though.

I have used it for saltwater. I love to catch redfish with it. So yeah. It works.

If you are fishing the Walmart night crawlers they sell are better bait. They are much more expensive.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I have never used these lures in deep salt water. I have only used them in brackish (sp?) water and I have never caught anything on them. So sorry. . .. . .

The z03 can be saltwater fished....HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend a huge fresh water shower afterwards. You will notice a change in performance very quickly if you do not keep the salt from sitting...even overnight! Just got back from the coast with 3. Gave them several good baths but still believe I can feel where I did not get the salt out. It's doable, but perhaps not recommended.

I would not use it for deep sea fishing. Being a two piece and a little light, it just won't hold up to big fish. It is okay for light pier and surf fishing.

Haven't used it but a couple of times so far.I used it fishing at night and it worked great for the 30 mins that I needed it for.

Steve;It will depend on the feed of the local predators you're targeting. I'm on the Pacific Coast, but would say that any color that works for another lure type would be a good choice. In Southern California, Nuclear Chicken and Rootbeer/Gold are good colors for all fishing, though neither looks like anything that swims locally. Chartreuse is usually a good place to start, as well. You may need to experiment some.

Kingfish and spanish mackerel can and do hit the yellow line. See some slack in your line and reel it up with no resistance and get cut off leaving 50 dollars of line at the bottom of the ocean. Just something to think about depends on where you are fishing.. I would not use yellow down here on the Texas coast because of this reason.
