Krilled Maggots

[TF_shanieboy]

As i have been trying to get as much information on fishing the Glebe complex in Leics i keep coming across Krilled this and Krilled that. Now i know the krilled maggot method has been around a while now but is it as good as its being reported?? Basically what im asking is, is it the krill that is making the difference?? Or is it as i suspect the fact that a few anglers are fishing the maggot again( as opposed to pellet meat corn etc) and more importantly using the amount needed to make it a really effective way of catching carp and a lot of them too. I can speak from experience, i have fished many matches on a water where feeding and fishing the maggot was king, almost unbeatable and this was standard maggots not the krilled version. Would i have caught more on the krill? I doubt it, when catching weights of upto 150lb in 3Hr matches and 250lb in 5hrs! These fish are not 10lb plus munters either prob averaging 5-6lb so we are talking a lot of carp.I believe its the humble maggot that has made a massive come back and not the use of additives, be it krill or any of the hundreds available!! The problem is to make this method as devastating as it is and i think the secret to it too is the amount needed,8-12 pints for a five hr match!! yes you can sometimes get away with 4-6 pints but the norm is the more the better….. These are my opinions, i dont think the krill is the be all and end all, using large quantities of grubs on well stocked carp fisheries will get results with it or without it. whether you can justify the cost is another topic all together( personally id say yes it really is that good on the right venue)
Well i have put my 2 penneth in so over to the forum, What do you think????

Simple question that needs answeing. Have the winning match weights gone up? If not as i suspect. Then, its got very little to do with the krill or using maggots. Much more to do with anglers following each other when sticking to what they do best and that has worked well in the past would give others more of a chance of winning. Seen quite a few venues where the IN method has been Krilled maggots this year but the over all match weights have not changed much and i,ve still been catching enough to compete with my normal methods and baits. As for the Glebe. I fished it twice last summer. Had 2 section wins with tons from not such great pegs. I never used mggots or krilled any of my bait.

your right true blue, too many anglers follow the crowd and the so called in methods, my problem with that is your already one step behind the thinking angler. My feeling is the anglers who are winning using different baits such as krilled maggots etc are winning more due to the fact that they are doing it right than down to a bit of krill or another additive, but because they were using said additives people put a lot down to that. A bad angler wouldnt have the same level of success, krill or no krill.
