Is it permissable to use live bait in fishing? For example a worm, as putting it on the hook gives the bait a lot of pain. Even though people specialised in this say that for example a worm has too small brains to feel pain, but when I put the hook, it starts to panic and wiggle/roll.

If there is a need, it is allowed. If there isn't a need, it is frowned upon.
