This has to be one of the most emotive subjects in fishing, coarse or Sea. Anglers that have fished with maggots and casters all their life will never accept that the new prepared and smartbaits can be as effective. Anglers that caught specimen Carp on luncheon meat swear that it is better than boilies. I said the same thing in sea fishing as here, a hungry fish will eat what it can find. A well presented bait will catch fish providing that the fish are around. There are of course many techniques that the coarse angler likes to use in order to attract fish to their swim, some of which your local fishery may not allow so always check before using your chosen method. One thing I will add however, even though Just Tackle has not yet worked out how to send maggots by post is that I have never failed to catch something when using maggots.

They wriggle well and the fish cannot resist. Is there a down side? Maybe.
The maggot is small enough for a stickleback to eat so smaller less aware
fish tend to get you bait before that specimen Roach can get to it. Ideal
bait for the Match angler looking for as many fish as they can catch and
ideal bait for the newcomer looking to catch fish. You should always catch
something with a maggot. They are available as white, red, pink, mixed or
Pinkies which are smaller and Perch love them in 2's and 3's on your hook!
provide texture and 'castability'. They are usually flavoured with flavours
such as banana, curry, strawberry, vanilla or any combination that you wish
to try. I saw a fishing program where the host fished for Carp using
strawberries, and caught loads!
