Absolutely! I can still remember an old mk2 escort that had flies emerging from the air vents after months....

Does the smell of the superglue not put people off using it? Or the fish feeding on it?

"Bogey" is still available.

what if attracts them?

That would be handy. Especially if there are crays about 😂

Cant beat that when a big meat fly comes out all drowzy and starts clattering into your face on the motorway 😂

Anyone used maggots on a chod mounted above a piece of foam or pop up?

nasty things...

Ikarpy - I'm one for keeping it simple with maggots. Get them on the hook with a feeder or a pva bag if you prefer. Catapult freebies in small quantities over the bait area regularly if you can

Maggots end up on the deck so that's where my hookbaits are
