Today's shout box had a reference to the "Worminator", a contraption to catch worms. In the Tyler area, we have what the locals call a "Worm Caller". The act of using a worm caller is "Calling Worms".

I thought this was like Snipe Hunting when I first heard about it. A friend showed me his Worm Caller and told me about using it to Call Worms. Since he was known to be a honest, church-going man, I gave it a try. To my surprise, it really works.

The Worm Caller consists of two pieces of 3/4 PVC, one about 24-30 inches and one about 18 inches. The long piece has notches cut about 4-5 inches apart.
