Maggot Laws

[UK-Fishing-Tackle.co.uk]

I've no problem with people buying a bait tub everytime - BUT - you can bet your life countless anglers (esp. the younger lot) will forget theirs almost every time.

 

In which case, as a retailer I wondered what the position was. Anyway, I think we are at the suppliers tomorrow and I'll ask, posting whatever he says (although of course, he may be wrong).

 

Checking with the council - i'd not of thought of that, but might be worth doing!

I have been told, having forgotte the box, that 'it against the law/rules to sell them in other than a proper bait box' by several different tackle shops both here in Norfolk and in Derbyshire. could be just a ploy to make the forgetful stump up for yet another box. I have more than a few to prove it. One related thing that gets my goat, why do maggot boxes have lids that are not interchangeable, I could swear that the lids shrink by a few millimetres as I never seem to to be able to match a lid and a box from the selection that I have!!!

i always get them in a bag ,if i go in friday afternoon i get a gallon or more in a large plastic bag for feeding the fish at the pond ,his delivery comes friday morning so the old stock is surplus to requirements.

i ofcourse kill each maggot with a tiny priest before throwing them in
