Thread on 3 to 4 maggots to fill the hook. You can experiment with the number of maggots you fish with on the hook. There is no set rule for the number of maggots you can apply to a hook. However, if you are fishing over a sandy or silty bottom. Your maggot hook baits can become lost as the maggots work their way into the soft bottom. This allows your maggots to be presented up off the bottom. We opt for a piece of cylindrical foam that we roughly cut to the shape of a maggot.
Once the rough shape has been created, roll the piece of foam between your forefinger and thumb. The heat from your fingers will smooth the cut edges giving you a more realistic maggot profile.
Thread the pop-up maggot onto the hook first. This can be done by threading the flat end of the pop up on first. Then have the hook exit halfway out the body of the popup, then slide the pop up onto the eye of the hook to hold it securely in place. They also come with 6 different colour foam cylinders. So you can test different colours to see what works best.
To rig maggots on a hook, simply pinch the maggot hook between your forefinger and thumb and hold it around the eye of the hook. The Berkley Powerbait Honey Worms are the dark horse in our top 5 rainbow trout baits.
