giles07 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 does any on here rate the muedusa i was going to try it out on friday on my local commercial to see if its any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silly12sally Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have used it in the past. Can work out quite pricey with glue and maggot use. It is also a long process to set up. However, I like using it when things get quite hard just to try and be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardking Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have used it and had some good results with it but it is fidily in the cold! The mag aligner works well, but the silver fish drive you mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 May be worth typing Maggot rigs in as a search as there were a few threads about Maggot rigs recently and in the long distant past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 i not keen on this rig ,to fiddly and get wasted tieing it and does the smell of glue attract or repell the fish?? is creating a lighter fluid rig worth a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagmiester Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 One way of making the medusa is to sew the maggots on to a 6-10mm polyball using fine line or make your rigs up as nomal but don't tie a loop on the hair thread a piece of fake corn, luncheon meat onto the hair and tie on a rig ring on and pull it fairly tight to the hook (a small gap of about 3-5mm)then thread about 10/20 maggots onto a length of fine line then tie these on to the rig ring don't pull this too tight as you could burst the maggots and you should end up with a bunch of maggots similar to a medusa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybranno Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 One way of making the medusa is to sew the maggots on to a 6-10mm polyball using fine line I would pay to see you attempt this. Call me stupid but i just cant see how it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me stupid but i just cant see how it can be done. Tony how much do you wanna pay me? If i want a medusa popped up or to zig rig with a medusa then this is how i go about it but with varring sizes of rig foam rather than a polyball ,depending on how bouyant i need it to be. Takes no longer than sticking them to a cork ball and i find that i have a lot more confidense knowing there is no glue anywhere near my rig. If i don't need it popped up then it is just as many maggots that i can fit onto some baitfloss then tied to a d-ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just sitting here trying to figure out how you can actually sew 10 - 20 odd maggots onto a polyball. I honestly just cant see it. It will be a new one on me when i get shown that, thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louis84 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 haha after re-reading the whole thread im still are you just glueing them on? or sewing them onto line and then adding the poly ball on the same line at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seleb Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sewing them on is pretty simple really . Much easier than getting maggots glued to your fingers You just thread real maggots on to some cotton using a sewing needle, adding either small slivers of foam or imitation pop up maggots for the tarts. Then when you have enough on , say 20 or 30, you tie them onto a D - rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or once you have them on the thread, stick the needle through a foam ball, and keep repeating this process until you cant see the ball of foam, normaly works better with about 10. Then you just use the ball of maggots like you would a boilie and hair rig it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis84 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 or, just use boyant mag aligners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alby39 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 the best way i have found is to thread 20to 30 maggots onto a fine piece of hair braid, make a d rig then tie the threaded maggots onto your d rig and fish it as a bottom bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisa112 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I wound just use a maggot clip ( Korda) put on th hair rig same effect as a medusa jus easier !!! sharpen the point on the clip though its not very sharp !!!! <> Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did once buy a packet and they got chucked into the bin within a few mins of opening the pack. Presentaion in my oppinion is not a patch on other methods of fishing the medusa and certainly not easier to make. The most disturbing thing about them i feel they could be incredibally unsafe and would cause untold damage to a fish if one was to open during the fight.
