How To Tie a Maggot Solid Bag Rig
- Cut a length of Blend Tungsten Tubing and slide it onto your Mainline.
- Follow that up with a Vitabitz Tail Rubber and a Flat Inline Pear Lead.
- Tie on a Size 8 Vitabitz Ring Swivel with a Palomar Knot and pull it inside the Lead.
- Strip off some 25lb Ammo Braid and thread through the eye of the Lock Hook.
- Begin whipping a Knotless Knot with a tag end instead of a hair loop.
- Trim the tag end, then thread a Dazzlers Magoliner Aligner down over the Hook eye.
- Next, thread on a Dog Bone Sinker and position close to the Hook.
- Tie a Twisted Figure-of-Eight Loop Knot in the other end of your Hooklink.
- Thread a Tweakers Eyed Bait Screw onto the Hook, followed by a Dazzlers Long Distance Hookbead.
- Loop-to-loop the Hooklink on to the Lead System by passing the loop through the Swivel and the Hook back through the loop.
- Thread some Get Flossed through the eye of the Bait Screw and thread on a Pop-up Hookbait.
- Next, thread some Maggots onto your Cool Tool Fine Needle, pull them down tight to the Pop-up and tie off.
- Now grab some Fade PVA Tape and thread two old Pop-up Boilies onto it before tying it to your Hook.
- Place this in your Fade Solid Bag and start loading with a base of Groundbait, topped with Maggots.
- Tie off or lick and stick the top of the bag and fold in the corners. Be careful not to pop any Maggots!
- You now have a devastating Maggot PVA Bag!
