Three worms was easy, I had to hold the three while I used the pronged worming needle to coax the 4th into place. They’re all half length worms as I cut them to make the worms last, but if I hadn’t, it would’ve been better to have used two worms doubled over into four, then the curves of the worms could act as a wedge. The freezing temperatures might’ve been to my benefit, otherwise the warm rubber goo factor would’ve likely caused the worms to worm out of there pronto. So, it was luck. Might need some of those specialty large plugs for the next time… -Kai
