The New Improved Korda Maggot Clip – Rig 1
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Now that winters here many of you will be using maggots as bait. In this blog I’m going to show you how to tie a rig with the new improved Korda Maggot Clip . There is more than one rig that can be tied with the maggot clip and I will feature those in future blogs.
These are the components that I used to demonstrate this rig
Step 1
Cut a length of your desired hooklink material, in this case I am using Korda Hybrid Soft
Step 2
Strip off 4-5 inches of the coating
Step 3
Tie a small overhand loop in the stripped section
Step 4
Cut a length, 10mm approximately of the ESP Sink Rig Tube and thread it up towards the loop. The rig tube prevents the live maggots from wriggling around and masking your hookpoint, a little dodge thought up by Nigel Sharp I think.
Step 5
Thread the Korda Maggot Clip through the loop and push the rig tubing tight to the clip
Step 6
Thread the opposite end of the hooklink through the eye of the Atomic Claw hook and whip the stripped section of the hybrid soft up to the rig tubing
Step 7
Thread the tag end of the hooklink through the eye of the hook again and pull to bed down the knot
Step 8
Tie the swivel at the other end of hooklink with a figure of eight loop knot
Step 9
Moisten both knots and pull tight to bed them down. I’m using the excellent Korda Pulla Tool in this shot.
Step 10
Thread on the required number of maggots. I was extremely suprised how easily the maggots went on, so Korda really have improved the sharpness of the clip.
