CARP RIGS - Fox International

MAGGOT RIG
THE new Fox Maggot Clips make presenting
bunches of grubs easier than ever. Available
from 6 to 12mm you can produce hook
baits from as few as three or four maggots
to giant wriggling balls.
The pyramid shape of the clips prevents
maggots bunching up and exposing bare
metal and requires less metal for a more
balanced presentation. A specially designed
Tweezer tool is available that allows the
clip to be easily opened and loaded without
bending the clip.
Maggots bring a fierce feeding reaction
from carp, even in the coldest water, and
large quantities of maggots, a gallon (eight
pints) or even double that quantity can bring
monster catches when little else is bringing
a response. It’s an aggressive approach,
and an expensive one, but can produce
quantities of carp you have rarely
seen before.

HOW TO TIE THE MAGGOT RIG...
A combi rig from Fox Coretex makes the perfect
maggot rig. Strip back 5-6cm of outer coating
then tie the maggot clip to the end with a
grinner knot.
Whip a knotless knot to a size 9 Arma Point
SSC leaving a 1cm hair between bend of hook
and maggot clip. Add 5-7mm of shrink tube and
steam down at an angle improve hooking.
Fox Fine PVA allows small pellets and live maggots
to be used in PVA bags without all the maggots
wriggling out before you cast.

Fox Maggot Tweezers have been designed to
help open up a Fox Maggot Clip to aid threading
maggots. You’ll be amazed how useful these
Tweezers are!
When tackling pressurised carp that have been
hammered on maggots use the size 12 clips and
just three or four maggots, smaller hook baits
catch best.
Add inserts to a TB spod when depositing large
quantities of maggots. Add water for weight.
Fox Bait Droppers will drop maggots directly on
the lake bed and can be cast surprising distances.
