I wonder if anyone can help here. I returned to fishing a few years back as it was something I did when a kid and now I have the time to do it some more. Glad I did! Here is the question. The local tackle shop (well the nearest and easiest to get to) does not sell maggots from a chiller and into your box, instead, they are pre-packed and can be purchased in tubs from the fridge. What you get in some very lively maggots but they are in only what could be described as a brown rotting substance, they have not been cleaned and this stuff that they are in (on a scales of 1 - 10) is an 11 in the pong department. Has anyone ever purchased maggot kept like this and if so what is the best way to prepare for fishing? I confess that I have taken them out in the tub as is however if you so much as touch what they are in you will smell it for days. Years even Any ideas why they are packed like this and what it is. I wish they sold them the old fashioned way...
