Colditz Bait Box |
|
The problem is that bait boxes are usually made from soft pliable plastic. Squash the side of these and they leak, especially, it seems, the square ones. A couple of years ago I found the answer in Colditz Bait Boxes and started to do a review. Unfortunately, the distributors (Leeda) promptly stopped distributing them! Thumbing through the W.B. Clarke trade catalogue recently I found them again and so can finally finish the review. W.B. Clarke is a smaller wholesaler than Leeda, so your tackle shop may not have heard of the firm. However you can tell them that W.B. Clarke's number is 01386-423350. The Colditz bait boxes are made from rigid plastic with lids that snap very firmly shut. They also have an additional centre lid (again secure) which has a lip to prevent maggots crawling out. They're round in shape and come in 2 sizes: 2½ pints @ £1.99 and 1½ pints @ £1.75. This may be a few pence more than standard bait boxes, but then divorces are even more costly! In fact, I wouldn't use any bait box for maggots other than a Colditz. Steve Burke 20th August 2000

Most of us, at some time or another, have had the misfortune of having had maggots escape from a bait box into the car or the home. Usually, we've just had to put up with it, always promising the other half we'll be more careful in future!
