Live Wormweed Substrate
Please Note: This is a wet, live, science specimen.
Our Wormweed Substrate is the natural marine vegetation used to keep live bait worms—such as sandworms and bloodworms—in their best condition. This fresh, damp seaweed acts as an oxygen-rich bedding material, helping worms stay lively, healthy, and ready for fishing or study. Hand-harvested from Maine’s tidal flats and packed fresh, this substrate mimics the worms’ natural habitat and extends their shelf life during transport or storage.
Common name: Wormweed
Scientific name: Various intertidal algae species
Locations: Intertidal zones and tidal flats along the Maine coast
Seasonality: Available all year
Colors: Green to brown
Size: Sold by the pint or quart volume
Collected: By hand
Quantity: Sold fresh by volume
Uses: Ideal for storing, shipping, or displaying live bait worms (sandworms, bloodworms). Also suitable for classroom study or marine biology research where authentic substrate conditions are needed.
Note: This is a live marine specimen. Natural variations in size, color, and appearance from photos should be expected.
