Nephthys sandworms are burrowing predators who live in the beach sand near the high tide line. They are quick and highly specialized to their burrowing habits.
These interesting polychelate worms are a staple food for many species around Southern California that live in the intertidal and nearshore zones.
While the worms burrow they are hunting for grunion eggs, juvenile invertebrates, diatoms, and any other small prey items. They will also scavenge on larger dead prey items.
This mold design I have come up with should allow me to make 8″ long sandworm styled baits.
