Berkley Gulp! Alive! Maggots

Use the Maggots on a tungsten bead head lure similar to a trout fishing nymph in a size 8 3xl hook. Thread the maggot onto the hooks curve to resemble a shrimp like shape. They can't resist it!!!!!!

Bought this a few weeks ago (white/cream color) at walmart for laughs, as they were out of live bait and I wanted to go crappie fishing, I also considered the fact that they may be a great substitute for using live bait while ice fishing. I have taken them out every time I've gone fishing this fall and the fish absolutely can't get enough of them, they stay on the hook better than live bait, they are cheaper, and the container has so many it's insane! While panfishing I even caught a 32 pound channel catfish in Indiana, only 5 pounds off the state record! These things are the next best thing. Only complaint is the smell, it stains your clothes and takes a few washing to get out, but if that is part of catching the fish, I'll take it.
