Maggot Bags
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2018 2:42 pm
Just wondered , does anybody else apart from miself still use the traditional cotton maggot bag ?
My last truly vintage one , about circa 1970 wore out years ago, I have had several since then, home made and working well.
I almost had a turn this morning, packing kit for a week on the Wye and couldnt find my present one anywhere, eventually traced to the reel drawer in use as a temporary bag for a nice little Intrepid reel and spare spools ( thanks Pallenpool, )
The maggot bag is a useful piece of kit for use when wading /trotting, these days it is more common to see anglers with a table set in midstream, laid out with 16 different baits plus a few tons of aluminium work attached as well.
Long live the maggot bag
