A maggot is the larva of a fly. Maggots are arguably one of the best baits for fishing. Even though they are small, even a large fish cannot resist this protein snack.
Maggots can be used in fishing as bait on a hook, in pva nets and bags, they can be added to groundbait, there are quite a few ways to fish with them.
It is easiest to buy them in a fishing store, but you can also grow them yourself at home in the warmer months.

Excellent natural bait for the vast majority of fish
Preparation:
Soak hemp seed covered with water for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, put the seeds covered with water in a pan and boil
Simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
Hemp seeds are cooked when most of the seeds have split and when little white shoots are seen.
The seeds are now ready for fishing.
Hemp is a great way to attract fish (carp, roach, bream, barbel, tench, chub, …) any time of the year.
Some Facts About Hemp – Seeds
Hemp is the common term for a variety of plants in the Cannabis family.
Hemp and its seeds have been used for thousands of years by various cultures.
Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.
Hemp has the potential to replace plastic material.
One of the most important hemp seed benefits is its high quantity of proteins.
Hemp is incredibly sustainable.
Hemp seed food products are also considered more allergy-free than many other seeds.
Hemp seeds are high in nutritional value and contain 20 different varieties of amino acids and all nine of the essential amino acids.
Hemp and marijuana are not the same.
It was legal to pay taxes with hemp in America from 1631 until the early 1800s. (LA Times. Aug. 12, 1981.)
Refusing to grow hemp in America during the 17th and 18th centuries was against the law.
For thousands of years, 90% of all ships’ sails and rope were made from hemp.
Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the car itself was constructed from hemp.
In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs. (U.S. Department of Agriculture Archives.)
80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc., were made from hemp until the 1820s, with the introduction of the cotton gin.
Almost cooked.
Hemp seeds can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days (3 to 5 days maximum) or frozen and taken out of the chest when you need them for fishing.
Natural protein fishing bait.
Hemp is split.
When the hemp seeds are cooked there is no need to add anything as the seeds are already attractive enough for fish (high in proteins, natural oils, feed stimulators and attractants).
I most often add hemp oil to the warm seeds for even more attraction.
Conclusion
Cooked seeds can be used in spod mix, a great addition to ground bait mix, hook bait, It can be used on its own, etc.
My opinion is that this is one of the very rare baits that you can cook in your wife’s kitchen (talk to your wife first anyway ?) without stinking up the kitchen with unpleasant aromas, such as cooking chickpeas, corn, fish meal boilies with the aroma of squid, octopus, liver, monster crab and so on.
The smell of cooked seeds is very pleasant, no wonder fish love it.

When the fish are not active for feeding it is always worth trying home-made boilies. I very rarely use ready made boilies.
I think carp won’t be able to resist this sweet treat.
Combination of boilie and pop up boilie both homemade (snowman rig), soaked in CC Moore liquid molasses for a few minutes. One of my favorite fishing attractants is liquid molasses. Fish just love molasses, especially when the water is cold.
Waiting …
Fish on ?…..… just a little bit.
Beautiful common carp (at least for me, because carp with big bellies don’t impress me too much, regardless of his weight).

A huge variety of carp fishing rigs are used today. They differ in complexity, the time of year, bait presentation, usability on different types of bottoms, and so on.
I have tied a lot of different carp rigs already and I use some of them on almost every fishing trip or have them with me in my korda rig safe. This time I will show you through photos how I tie a carp screw rig. I have been using this rig successfully for a long time so I decided to present in steps how to tie it.
I use this rig mainly for pop ups, but it works great for all other baits as well. The only thing I need to note, If you use baits that are quickly softened in the water, the bait may eventually fall off. It can be used on all different types of bottom and when is not too much weed or debris in the water.
What you need to tie a knotless knot screw rig?
Here’s how you tie it up, in pictures below:
Place a bait screw onto the hook shank.
Add hook bead (slowly and carefully, the sharpness of the hook can lead to unpleasant injuries quickly)
Cut off the length of the hooklink. Cut off a slightly longer hooklink because the final length of the carp rig is reduced by knots (swivel, hook knot, knotless knot, hair rig, loop knot, … and the like).
First insert the selected hooklink through the hook eye.
Hooklink is now through the hook eye.
Wrap the hooklink material around the hook body.
Wrap hooklink around hook shank (5x – 10x times, depending on hook size, pattern and shape, hooklink thickness, carp rig type and individual decision, but not beyond where the hook point begins).
When your are satisfied with the number of wrappers, then pass the hooklink back through the eye of the hook (recommend for beginners). For better hook strength I recommend wrap the hooklink in the opposite direction (2x – 4x times) and then put hooklink through the ear of the hook.
Always end knotless knot (whith or without hair) by pushing the hooklink end through the hook’s ear toward the hook point.Very important: If you do not do this in this direction, the hook does not turn properly in the carp mouth.
Add anti tangle sleeve to hooklink.
Clinch knot that is very easy and fast to tie, strong, reliable and uncomplicated. I recommend all beginners to first learn how to tie this knot. Below I described how to tie this knot. I am sure that after 2x – 3x attempts you will have already mastered how to make it. As they say practice makes perfect ?.
Thread hooklink end through the eye of swivel.
Make 4x or more turns around the hooklinks.
Thread the hooklink through the very first loop above the eye of the swivel.
Always moisten knots, then slowly tighten the knot. Trim the tag end and blob it with a lighter.
Attach bait (pop up boilie, tiger nuts, hard corn, bottom boilie, wafter, dumbells, imitation baits …) on bait screw.
Add a small piece (amount depends on presentation method, boilie size and buoyancy, etc) of tungsten putty, for balance hook bait and efficient rig mechanics .
FInally rig is ready for fishing.
In the end I just check in the aquarium, bucket or similar how your screw rig looks like in the bottom. When you know how to tie a rig properly, it is not necessary to check every rig in the aquarium, but I recommend when we tie a rig that we have never had before. Better to check the rigs at home than to get to the fishing spot and find out that we need to tear down for example all 40 rigs and tie everything up again (fortunately this has not happened to me).
Till next time …
…tight lines and wet landing nets!
