A PINT OF MAGGOTS

[hucks58]

If you can reuse the bait box then the overall price won't be too bad.

yes i can reuse the bait box but is this can't buy maggots in a plastic bag a new regulation or not???.

This answer will have to wait on someone more local to you. I'm too far away and have a completely different set of rules (plus the fact that no one within several hundred miles of me even sells maggots).

i should think your fridge smells lovely, are you divorced by any chance...

 

maggots are 2 quid a pint where im from in lincolnshire !!

no its fine but its a very big fridge ,they only smell as the ammonia builds up!fresh sawdust every week stops the pong.

have noticed the magotts lose weight after a time i expect its the excercise on their days out!

Chesters - don't be a meanie. Let the maggots feast on your old boilie and buy a new one.

noooo my mum was a scot so i am keeping up tradition

around £2.40. they've been this price for a while, so not much inflation on maggot prices.

Whatever they cost, and whether they insist on a proper bait box or not, do check that they've got some bran or sawdust with them. My local tackle shop has just closed down, so I bought my maggies for Timsbury from a different shop. I didn't open the tub until I got to the bank the next day, and they were absolutely soaking No bran or sawdust to soak it up. Mind you, they were even worse after being rained on all day. A cup of bran on the leftovers and soon they were nice and dry,

 

Most shops either put a bit in by default or ask if you want some, but it seems that some shops don't do either.

I leave the lid off the box, this stops them sweating even without maize etc. Just make sure they're not near enough to the top of the box to do a "Great escape".
