IS THIS THE ULTIMATE MAGGOT PRESENTATION?

Korda Koach, Rob Burgess, loves nothing more than finding a clear spot out in the lake and using maggots, either alone or as part of his mix, to bait the chosen area. He then uses this precisely balanced setup over the top. With a trimmed-down piece of foam so that the hook lays flat on the deck, the maggot hookbait is then mounted onto a super effective Spinner set-up. This means that should he hit the jackpot, he can capitalise on short-feeding spells by being able to change hooks, quickly and easily. Traditionally, with all other maggot set-ups, this hasn’t been an option. Here’s how Rob ties it… 

1. Start by crimping a size 11 Spinner Swivel onto a length of Boom material.
