I'd recommend anyone new to fishing to follow these 2 very talented young men especially younger anglers, these tutorials are excellent

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@evanmonnickendam2982]

If it wasnt for ye i wouldnt have caught my pb 17 pounder on my fisrt trip to the uk carp fishing

[@charlottehull3628]

@@evanmonnickendam2982 well done on your pb 20lber next as your target ☺

[@evanmonnickendam2982]

@charlotte hull i tried for days sadly it was tike to go home afer 2 weeks i will be ack tho 😂

[@DunkinBiscuits]

These tips are awesome and very well demonstrated, another one i use is a small spot of super glue on the rear end of the maggots and simply stick them to the foam or a poppup, they stay alive longer and no maggot juice on your fingers from stabbing them with a needle, they also seem to be able to wriggle more without the thread restricting their movement slightly.

I’ve been fishing 20 year and still consider myself amateur at best 😂 these videos are really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make them

[@albaseaangling1428]

As a keen sea angler who is slowly getting into course fishing instead of chasing tides all the time this is faultless and very detailed Thanks! 👏🏼

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers for watching!

[@ivanjosephmurray605]

I'm an amateur at best but my young seven year old son is mad for fishing. These tutorials are excellent, thanks guys. ☺

[@samdub]

Few great tips on this video. Im fishing a small lake with a no boilie rule soon so this will come in handy! Thanks

[@sadiogunner2747]

Been watching for years you two have found wat u really are good at welldone

[@daveeagling9372]

Good work Carl. There’s no doubt maggots can be an excellent choice in cold weather and knowing how to present them effectively is a big help.

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers Dave, agreed :)

[@alexavfclineham7301]

I have recently found time to go fishing again after a few years away and I never used to go in January for carp but thought I'd give it a crack today, I watched this video the night before because I knew that maggots would be a good option but wanted to know a good way to present them, the maggot ball on cotton worked with and without corn and I ended up with two double figure commons, I will definitely be catching more winter carp now so thank you

[@fishingtutorials]

Good work Alex! Well done!

[@fishnipsmc]

Hi yes I love watching Carl and alex!!😀

[@markkinnersley5134]

Could u do a video showing how to do a figure of 8 knot with a swivel I am struggling with the swivel can do the knot

[@MarkTayloroutdoors]

Will this rig work just as well with n-trap soft, if you swapped that with the dark matter?

[@imanishay]

Hi lookin for a advice. Ive just joined a local lake thats been there over 30 years and has never been heavily fished the owners say its just thrived on natural foods the carp go upto 30lb . I fished it last week for the first time and just used my usual bait and tactics pop ups boilies corn etc but not a sniff. So My question is would you think this is the perfect lake to give maggots ago

[@swsot8415]

Great video guys! Keep doing what your doing!👍

[@cns180784]

Great video, I'm thinking of trying that maggot clip rig now 👍

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you :) all the best for your fishing :)

[@ethanarcher250]

Nice video! Insted of u sing a clip i just put the maggots on a size 6 hook and the carp was eating it like nothing (still had a boilie on the hair rig)

[@mitchelhope6828]

how would you attach this to a inline lead

[@georgemchugh5882]

Does anyone else just watch these videos because they love Carl and Alex

[@davebets4452]

[@fishingvideosbykaine1072]

This video was a great help thanks

[@lepecheurbordelique6246]

Hello what is the advantage of not rigging the bait directly on the hook? I've never tried these rigs while float fishing and I still catch some fish with it

[@renecarp2762]

hi, i’m from germany.. i have test it today and it was really good.. much small fish, but for winter better than no fish👍✌🏻

[@fishingtutorials]

Good work Rene!

[@michaelgrigor7594]

Where do you purchase the foam to make it a pop up presentation? Great video

[@benwilson1411]

Wicked video guys I've always wanted to use maggots but never knew how to get the on the hair I'll be sure to use then on my next trip

Good luck Ben!

[@Ror0009]

Do carp bite soft plastic worm lures?

[@jamieronan2523]

Could u do a vid on how to find spots in lake using maker floats and leads , personally that’s my weakest point in carp fishing and I’m sure a lot more carp anglers too, cheers

[@KevinLee10360]

Hey Carl and Alex, amazing video as always. I am a North American based angler and maggots are not readily available. Could you do a similar video on worms for freshwater fishing?

[@imanishay]

Can you still use maggots affectively in summer months. Im goin to a lake for 3 nights were its hookbaits only so i thought more live like baits like maggots could give me an edge what are your thoughts

[@georgebevan2213]

Just a question but is the tungsten braid necessary or can I use normal Korda Line

[@fishingtutorials]

You can use normal line, but we find the coated braid nice and heavy and camouflaged so that's why we use it :)

[@giulianolecompte2884]

Is tubing on the hook not used for pop-up rigs?

[@adamaplon8388]

Brilliant video thanks guys 👍

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers Adam.

[@judi5832]

Can you use waxworms or mealworms as an alternative?

[@captaingold1685]

Can you use the maggot clip on the floating rig instead of string?

[@fishingtutorials]

Yeah for sure!

[@justreece4251]

Just if ya don't wanna use foam I used 12m popups and they seem to work great aswell hope this helps someone

[@Zarei-q1g]

Very good 😍👍🏻maggot is the best bait

[@mattandsharks]

Great video. Thanks very much. Can anyone help me? Every time I strip back a section of the coating in order to place the shot (for the pop up maggot rig) the coating on the rest of the link just twists and completely ruins the whole hook link. Any ideas?

[@fishingtutorials]

That is strange! what hooklink are you using?

[@mattandsharks]

@@fishingtutorials kingcarp 20lb coated braid. It just twists the coating and makes the rest of it unusable. Odd.

[@fishingtutorials]

Ah that’s strange! We use Dark Matter braid from Korda with no problems at all :)

[@mattandsharks]

@@fishingtutorials I've worked out the issue. Cheap coated braid was the problem! The coating was just awful. Got myself a better quality one and the striping worked first time, no twisting. Stuck a big ball of maggots on the hair and bagged a 6lb chub on the first cast! Thanks guys.

[@robertsalmon9844]

What is tge best place to fish maggots in the shallows, deeper water, snags, reeds or are they an anywhere bait

[@fishingtutorials]

The best place to fish with maggots is where ever the fish are. In the winter this will usually be in either deep water or near snags and reeds. In the summer for sure shallower parts of the water will be ideal!

[@robertsalmon9844]

@@fishingtutorials thanks. i will be getting some maggots to try next time

[@stevenandrews8149]

Great rig that maggot rig at the start, I normally use that rig with worms over a bed of dead reds over the winter months. Works great

[@FoodyyFiesta]

Can you also use a corn pop up with the maggots??

[@joestackle1183]

Yes I’ve used it before you can use fake corn or real corn I suggest fake corn with abit of krill liquid on it that will work

[@z0mgHD]

Brilliant tutorial guys !! Could anyone tell me what you used in the video to blend the bread, please :) Thanks 👍👌

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

I would use a standard food processor or a stick blender your choice but I feel like the food processor gives you a finer texture also I would leave some bread out in the bag in a sunny place like a greenhouse or winter as this makes the bread stale and easier to turn into like a crumb

[@mattwright244]

Awesome video! I've learned a lot from you guys (even though I have a lot more years on both you 😉) and your videos are always brilliant. I was wondering on your thoughts of using this sort of rig for big perch? I have a few places loxalvto me that are known for 3lb stripes and was thinking of having a go for them this year. Keep up the great work!

[@tryan101077]

Can you show us an adjustable zig rig?

[@fishingtutorials]

We'll try to do a tutorial on this at some point.

[@Zarei-q1g]

How can have really red maggot?

[@joechappell368]

What’s your opinion on using worms for carp? I’ve used them a few times and caught a few fish on them. I threaded them onto some 4lb mono and then tied that to the hair caught me a trench and a carp. Not sure what would be better maggots or worms tho. Worms are free though from the garden compost heap or under the plant pots

[@leebaker3256]

Another great video, are you using the Daiwa GS4000 for light spodding?

[@fishingtutorials]

Yeah, we will just use our normal fishing reel for spodding. Only when casting far is it important to have a specialist spod set up.

How many litres is your tank behind you in the video?

It's 430 litres. :)

[@sabinpantis4149]

How expensive maggots get in UK? In Romania i can buy a liter for about 2pounds. Just curious 😁

I bought half a litre for £3 at the weekend. More than double your price!!

[@DatFunnyStuff190]

Could you use a maggot mix in a solid pva bag? Or is that a no go

[@fishingtutorials]

Yes you can, just make sure the maggots and the rig are completely dry. Also compact it as tight as you can otherwise too many air bubbles will be trapped and the bay can float. Good luck mate!

[@DatFunnyStuff190]

@@fishingtutorials got it, thanks guys, appreciate that, just a second question, as I've not used pva before, after my initial cast what do you recommend in terms of drying the tackle before reloading into a new bag? Or does this tend not to be an issue?

[@fishingtutorials]

@@DatFunnyStuff190 Ground bait can work, as can flour. Anything fine and dry will work.
