06/16 UPDATE: We've updated the choice for shipping insurance in your cart. There is now a drop down menu for your choice. See Shipping Insurance page for more info. USPS Ground Advantage is still the worst. Multiple broken rods and "lost" packages. Long packages (ove 30 inches) taking 6+ weeks in some cases and normal packages taking several days longer than normal. Our local postmaster has told us it's only going to get worse before it gets better which is not a good sign! If you choose USPS and we can send it FedEx for what was paid we are switching your shipping to FedEx. We always recommend FedEx. We get no more info than you within the USPS tracking system. Contact your local USPS Postmaster and they can place an internal trace that may give you more info and/or get the package moving. Unless you request additional insurance, packages are only insured for $100. If your package is delayed there is a "Missing Mail" on their website. To be 100% clear, once a package leaves our dock it is 100% control of the shipper.
Maggot Fishmeal is one of our most popular groundbaits, we knew maggots were one of the best baits ever and because of this, we wanted to harness their fish catching ability in the form of a groundbait.
Fishing maggots come from the blue bottle fly which is the maggot used in making Maggot Fishmeal groundbait. When the fresh maggot has reached full size it is dehydrated. By dehydrating any product it removes most of the water so concentrates and intensifies the flavour. Dehydrated maggots have a unique smell which fish can't resist. The dehydrated maggot is then crushed to release even more flavour and then added to a mixture of crushed pellets, fishmeal, breadcrumb, meat extracts and cereals creating a unique groundbait for all species of coarse fish especially Carp, F1's, Bream, Tench and Roach.
Maggot Fishmeal is simple to mix. Empty the 2kg bag of groundbait into a round mixing bucket, fill a 2-pint maggot tub with water, pour this onto the groundbait and mix thoroughly, then allow it to rest for 30 minutes, during this time the water will be absorbed into the groundbait. Then for best results; to remove any lumps and create an even consistency, pass the groundbait through a riddle and it is ready to use.
When fishing sun and wind may dry the groundbait out a little, to combat this you can cover the mixed groundbait with a damp towel or if it does dry out just add a little more water and mix again.
