fishing worm
Hook's wriggling lure
A fishing worm is an earthworm used as bait for catching fish.
The term is common in American English, particularly in rural and Southern dialects, where it distinguishes worms dug or bought for angling from worms encountered in other contexts: We stopped at the gas station to pick up some fishing worms.
