I don't think they're popular enough for a lot of bait shops to carry them. The only local shop I know of that carries them is Henry's in Chicago. I'm sure there are others, though, particularly in ice fishing country.

Two good online sources are Grubco and Vados:

I have kept maggots for over two months, but that's really pushing it. Six to eight weeks is a typical life span.
