FISHING -- Nightcrawlers instinctively burrow down for safety, requiring anglers to dig down through dirt in their bait containers for find the next worm bound for the hook.

Save time by setting your bait container upside down while you're fishing.

When you get ready to rebait, turn the container over, lift the lid and the nightcrawler's will be on top and easy pickins.
