Agree with that, the only place near me a pint of maggots might the same as pint now is Wetherspoons. When I was growing up always remember beer and maggots being pretty much the same price. £5.50 for a Guinness is pretty common now, never had to pay that for maggots.

The last time I bought a pint of maggots they were bronze,probably the last time I bought a pint aswell

Al of July and August parkfield angling are doing them for £1.80 a pint

Used to be a few maggot vending machines around my way when I was a kid “bag it with maggot” came in a tin and they were terrible lol

Yep, my local shop turned the fridges off all last winter and stopped selling maggots as the amount he sold that time of year wasn't worth running them.

We used to get them in Northants. Little tins of sawdust with 15 maggots and a caster inside
Lifesaver on a Sunday morning when you had no bait!

Put some fishmeal pellets in a bucket, soak them into a mush and hang the bucket up at the end of the garden. The rest is automatic. The maggots will be of good size in a week.

The thing is everyone is missing here is as well as the daft price is its too much for grass roots level and getting kids into the sport which is where we nearly all started.

Bit dramatic. When I was a kid I'd only buy and use half a pint a day trip out, I'm pretty sure kids these days have a couple of quid for maggots.
