Well I got bored yesterday and decided to make one of these. Took about an hour and then I went on a worm hunt.

The worm hunt was not successful. I rattled on that thing for an hour all over the yard under leaf litter, in the garden, in flowerbeds and in the lawn near worm mounds where the night crawlers came up after the rain.
Nada, nothing. Oh well, killed an afternoon.

It looks a lot longer than the one used in the video. Maybe that has something to do with it not working for you???

I used an electric worm getter that someone else made when I was a kid. Those worms would just about jump into the bucket for you.

I saw a TV show a while back about a dude who ran a family business doing this. It was 3 of 'em, (him/wife/son) and they all went out to the woods with what looked like two plain ole "spiked" pieces of wood, like a 2x2 they would drive into the ground. There were no fancy ribs or handles or nothing, just the two most basic pieces of wood you'd find in the corner of your scrap pile...and they apparently found enough to supply an entire region with worms using that.
