In this instalment of AD Quickbites, we focus on the perfect maggot rig; incorporating high visibility, colour variation and an added imitation bait to help combat unwanted species ruining your rigs presentation.
Here's the maggot rig step by step.
Step 1
You will need the following.
Step 2
Cut off 10 to 12 inches of the hook link and strip back 4 inches of the coating.
Step 3
Using your baiting needle thread the plastic corn onto the uncoated section of the braid.
Step 4
Tie the small hook onto the braid and into the corn.
Step 5
Tie the small rig ring onto the braid 5mm below the corn.
Step 6
Thread your hook onto the braid passing the rig ring over the hook and tie a simple knotless knot.
Step 7
Slide the kicker over the eye of the hook.
Step 8
Slide the anti tangle sleeve onto the hook link and tie a figure of eight loop.
Step 9
Hook 4-5 maggots onto the small hook before pulling the hook point into the corn.
Step 10
For the perfect presentation hook a small pva mesh bag of maggots onto the hook before casting.
