I've tried them numerous times. They just dont work for me. An example. I found some bedding gills and was slammin em with waxworms. Thought i'd give the maggots a try since i had the fish all fired up. Put the white one on and got a fish on the first cast. Threw back out and nothing would touch it. Put on a fresh one. Still nothing. Put a pink one on. Nothing. Went back to the waxworm and started hammerin again. I've tried them a few times since then with the same results. I put them away and i'm gonna try them icefishing this winter. Now the honeyworm , thats a diffrent story.
