[Fresh Maggots - The best place to buy them]

Hi ktlou and welcome to AN. With a name like that you could be one of Newts cousins

As Mark said I think the best place for maggots is a tackle shop, if you get to a good one they're worth their weight in fish, offering advise and information on tactics and venues etc. When buying the maggots have a good look at them, if they have a feed mark, (that's a little black thing inside, just behind the head) then you will know that they are fresh.

 

Just an update from my earlier posts.. I have found two online shops which sell fresh maggots..

 

wormsdirectuk and vermisell.co.uk (But still will go to tackle shop first!) It costs about £4.95 for 1 pint which includes post & packing. Does that sound about right?

your local tackle dealer i would think is the best place to buy your maggots....store them in a cool dark place,,the colder the better..ie the fridge lol

not sure about the mail order thing...wont they die !!! they need air to breathe.....

 

Thanks for that.. I'm sure I heard that you could buy them mail order.. maybe I dreamt it!! I suppose they would die...

 

I'll try the tackle shop I think..

 

Thanks!

Hello...

 

I'm looking for a bit of advice.. Where is the best place to buy/get fresh maggots from - pref mail order?

 

How do you store them?

 

Sorry if these are really stupid questions - don't know much about fishing... although I am starting to take an interest - much to my husbands delight!!

 

Thanks,
