Krill Maggots

[Vagabond]

......... an industry that will eventually ramp up to the point where it can process krill on a fully industrialised scale for use as everything from farmed fish food to flavourings.

 

 

...and while doing so, will probably paint themseves as solving the world's food shortage.

 

Krill nuggets and chips, anyone ?

Krill is so last week. Daphnia in batter is where it's at.

Now that is just so common! One simply must have battered caviar don't y'know

White maggots with a red food sac.......and we're to believe this is the new wonderbait that will revolutionise fishing as we know it?

[Hillsider]

Sod that. When the krill runs out, what's next? Soylent Green maggots?

Suggest you try them before knocking them. Last time I used them, out of 10 other anglers on the water, I was the only one catching. Maybe it's just my preferred choice and I've found they work. They are a bit of a hasstle to make with and freezing thawing etc which perhaps why not many anglers use them.

It is entirely possible that you were the only one catching because of many reasons however. As the temperature drops the fish may be shoaling up or in a deeper patch of water that you happened to be in. Other anglers may have made presentation mistakes, been fishing too shallow or too deep or even using big baits for big fish that didnt show up. I would need to test them more extensively before claiming them to be a wonderbait. It would certainly be worth having both krill maggots and standard maggots and fishing them side by side in the same swim to get a real indicator of preference.

I agree. I just wanted to mke the point as quite a few people have dismissed them (or mocked me) on this forum and others, without even trying them.

[Andy Macfarlane]

I'm not knocking them. It's just that every single edition of every single fishing magazine has a new bait idea that apprently tears waters apart. I've got the red sac article myself and it sounds good but really, it's just something else to try out. I don't belive it's revolutionary or it's so brilliant that I'd go to the hassle of making them more than once.

 

People still catch big bags on bread.

Without the want of being overly defensive, my reply wasn't targeted at anyone directly......
