| Grub from a metallic blue-black fly that we can hear flying noisily during summer. It’s the most popular bait. The maggot is 1 to 1,5cm tall. Its white bright colour, its tenderness make it a very good bait. Its first quality is to be very heavy, which is the ideal thing to use it pure. By hand or by sling, the baiting being, as everyone knew, the most effective tactical when fishes are sulking. | |||||

In the morning of hot days, the mix wheat-maggot is very effective with breams, tenches and the majority of big white fishes. | |||||

In order to cast the line far with living maggots, remember that a bit of maggot glue is enough to agglomerate them in a ball, easy to propel with a good sling shot. We can also agglomerate maggots in two ways, either with glue or a new frosting product. This method permits to ship by hand or by sling balls of maggots ( very useful technical). | |||||
