Simply The BEST Dead Maggots!

[@JonArthur]

Wow wow wow, I cannot believe so many grown men are such picky tea aficionados, ha ha! Sorry my tea break interrupted your manicures, pedicures, eye brow sculpting and chest waxing! A proper man's cup of tea has to be two things: hot and wet. If you insist on any other luxuries you need to take your fluffy slippers off and have a word with yourself! Hot and wet boys. Hot and wet! That is all! 🤣🙃

🤣🙃🤣🙃🤣🙃🤣🙃🤣🙃

[@JonArthur]

READ THIS! Based on the research conducted by Dr Stapley of Loughborough University, it has been confirmed that putting the milk in before the hot tea is the correct way to make a brew. Sorry to those of you who have been putting the milk in last all this time, you’ve been doing it wrong! This somewhat bold claim is all down to the milk heating unevenly when poured into hot tea. When the milk heats unevenly it makes the proteins denature. This not only does the milk lose its flavour, it is also the culprit for the sticky skin that can form on the top of a cuppa! Brewing your tea in a pot and then adding it to cold milk works to prevent this. 🤣

[@GazEdwards8690]

Ok you need to hand over your rod licence and be put into the wild to find your inner man 😂

[@greeenestbasterd6896]

I heard the milk in first was due to the hot water breaking the bone china, so the milk would mix with the hot water and somewhat cool the tea. Now most people drink from ceramics it doesn’t matter.

[@dufferscorner]

What can I say! Your such an easy going warm witty guy. Even if your not into fishing (which I am) most people would enjoy your videos. Cheers.

[@JonArthur]

Ahh thats nice of you to say, even if I cannot make a cuppa!

Thanks Jon...just prepared some for tomorrow' match. Never really used "Ded'Uns"...but will give them a go tomorrow...

[@Andyfishing23]

Never have a problem freezing them. For a quick method though this is a great tip. Cheers.

[@JonArthur]

Good to know!

[@000Karesz000]

I found that the freezing is only okay when you left them at least 4 days. They can still be alive after 2 days of freezing.

[@tonypotter2205]

Great vid for a novice like myself, cheers John.

Hello Jon, thank you not only for this video, but for all the work you have put in creating so many videos to help others. I am new to fishing with dead maggots and have just followed this video as said on the tin, and all turned out exactly as did yours. I know you said that they can be kept under water, but could you please advise in detail of a long term method of storage for about two weeks without freezing if this is possible? Thank you, kind regards, Tony.

[@JonArthur]

Appreciate that Tony! You can fridge them for at least a week, but you might want to rinse them in between. Freezing will work too I guess.

[@johndingwall1210]

Very informative, have seen a similar video by Will Raison which he put the maggots in cold water and then added boiled water from a kettle . I normally just clean them off and put them in the freezer for a week , not the best way if you need them for a next day session granted . Have added flavour at times to the maggots before putting in the freezer and seemingly when you take them out as they are thawing the maggots draw in the flavour. Picked this up a good number of years ago in an article in Coarse Fisherman magazine by Archie Braddock , who probably is the pioneer of using flavoured deads .

[@JonArthur]

Yep Archie was the king of flavours

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

Very good Jon, Thank you

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikes9560]

Nice Video! The way I did it too. Today I put them in the freezer if I have some leftovers. When I just need a few, I use a maggot sleeper.

[@JonArthur]

Good stuff

[@JonArthur]

Merci beaucoup! 👍

[@mickogden6311]

Great video as always. I've used this method with cold water first and it wasnt as good as using this method. The maggots looked perfect and what I had left I froze and now they've defrosted they look just as good. Many thanks Jon. P.S. I drink Vimto so don't care about all this tea nonsense. 😆

[@JonArthur]

Good stuff!

[@michaeldilkes6209]

great video. if i wanted to add krill powder at what point would you do this?

[@JonArthur]

I’d just dust them straight after draining and bag them up. They used to say freezing and thawing draws in the krill flavour but I’m not convinced that’s necessary. They like dead maggots, the krill will just give a flavoursome haze and extra attraction.

[@gee3883]

I used to totally respect this bloke and his methods but now i've seen him put the milk in before the bag I having a re-think🤔😂

Have to agree. 🤢 First Rule of Tea Making. There should never ever ever be a Teabag/Milk interface!

[@raycharm8950]

when you said you use them with a feeder Jon ,would that be mixed with ground bait in a cage feeder

[@JonArthur]

Yes absolutely, hook and feed

[@EddiePedalo]

I imagine that, seen from the perspective of a non-angler, that, that thumbnail is the most insane image on t'internet. I only started using dead maggots about a year ago. I'm 100% barbless, and I've found them fantastic from tipping a worm to keep it on the hook.

[@JonArthur]

Yep they’re great for tipping the hook with any other hook bait cocktail

Hi John when you say leave them in water to stop them coming round do you add water to the bag I like the idea of the bag do its simple and neat and not to waste bait. Thanks

[@paulkendall5047]

Hi Jon, just caught up with this video about killing maggots, as I am out this weekend on a contest and I need dead reds ,will do this 100%,but would you consider putting krill liquid on them to add flavour and colour too?.Been following your video's for years, excellent video's and always great advice. Cheers Jon...👍🎣

[@JonArthur]

You certainly can and its something Im always playing with, but in all honesty I think they just like the dead reds how they are and I will add groundbait or micros if i need extra attraction.

[@paulkendall5047]

@JonArthur thanks for replying Jon,living in the West Midlands majority of the local venues ban groundbait, so thats out, but will definitely add micros thanks for the tip...👍🎣

[@JonArthur]

I find Anywhere that bans gb, feeding micros is often essential

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

Really enjoyed this. I've stopped coarse fishing but still got my poles. Told the wife I might start it again and she pulled my chest hair out as she was saying don't you dare bring them in my house. Think it be safer to jeep with the fly n sea fishing

[@garyelmes5264]

nice tips thanks.... are dead maggots any good for say roach on the waggler? would love to see a little series of vids in the future on how to make those cracking little wagglers you used on the canal a while back if poss.... thanks again john staysafe.

@@JonArthur it age //

[@WoolavyLeeWilliams]

All my worms/maggots/casters etc live in the fridge, anyone other than family find it odd, lol. The way I do dead maggots is to add a couple drops of flavour to a bag with a bit of air in, then leave in the fridge for a week or so, after that I freeze them. I have my bait on a constant rota, week on week depending on where I am fishing.

[@neilolly]

Would you ever fish dead maggot’s over live or live over dead ?

[@JonArthur]

Yes definitely. Did that last week at Meadowlands catching silvers, a dead sometimes gives a better bite and definitely falls slower and sometimes produces bigger fish.

[@darrenlea5947]

Hi Jon. This is spooky. I googled it earlier to find out the best way to do this

[@JonArthur]

I am a genie! 😂

[@WolfmanWoody]

I will try that one day, but finding maggits around here - hard! Do you ever flavour them at all? I used to flavour maggots sometime with Archie Braddock's flavours in winter, Hot Magic is one.

[@JonArthur]

Yes Im always messing around with maggots. Spices for natural winter venues and scopex on commercials have been good. Used to use Archie's stuff myself way way back. Where do you live if you cannot get maggots as all good tackle shops sell them and they're also available online.

[@WolfmanWoody]

@@JonArthur As my nickname suggests, it's near Marlow. We had Marsh in Wycombe, MBT in Cookham, and Kings of Maidenhead, all fairly close or on the way to fishing. There is one in Slough now, but not sure yet of quality. One of the last fishing trips I went on and your namesake Keith Arthur was there also. We've known each other for years and talking of maggots I told him mine came from mail order and so did his, the same dealer, we both agreed they were rubbish. So my only option now is Slough, a bit of a distance.
