natty Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have noticed in all of the carp mags, that if people are fishing maggots (not on a Korda Klip), they tie on a small rig ring onto their braid, which they will then using bait floss or cotton tie on a bunch of maggots onto the rig ring. I was wondering why bother using a rig ring, why not just tie the maggots onto a standard loop in the end of the braid (like what you would put a hair stop through). As this would have less weight (because there would be no rig ring). ? Any ideas would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levigsp Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Quite simply really If you tie direct to the loop on your hair it’s easy the first cast, then when the loop is wet the floss bites into said loop and make life difficult. Tying to a ring eliminates this problem and also makes cutting the floss away easy. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 those maggot clips that everyone were singing that would "revoloutionise" maggot fishing, what is it one/two seasons on? you dont hear them entioned. is this because there were unnecessarily complicated? too cumbersome? too heavy?

zander1 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 they have brought an "even better" version out now (this version apparently doesnt burst as many maggots ) Why not just get it right in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 why not just scrap them altogther??? sowing needle and dental floss, does a pukka job for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
