Hi
I may have mentioned that I only seem to catch on maggots. The trouble is I can't always get hold of them since lockdown. The local shop will serve at the door but if I want to go to my local lake on the spur of the moment for a couple of hours it means diverting off my route to collect them . Also if I have some left i have nowhere to store them at home . (I live in a small flat and the fridge is DEFINITELY out of bounds for maggots. ).
I guess my main question is there anything that will compete with maggots as bait for a novice angler ? Preferably something easy to get hold of and easy to store .
I have seen soft pellets in resealable jars in the tackle shop are they any good ? Artificial maggots?
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
