The NASH Maggot Screw is an ingenious bait screw that instantly adds the attracting power of live maggots around your main bait. In seconds you screw the accessory directly into the chosen bait and create an irresistible cloud of movement for wary fish. This compact accessory integrates naturally into your existing rigs without weighing them down or changing the way you fish.
Designed for demanding carp anglers, this maggot bait screw simplifies handling at the waterside. It helps present maggots cleanly and controllably, preventing them from damaging the main bait or detaching too quickly. You benefit from a neater, more stable presentation while preserving maximum natural movement around the hook.
Thanks to its thoughtful design, the NASH Maggot Screw adapts to a wide variety of modern baits: zig foam, pop-ups, boilies, seeds, nuts and other baits used for carp and coarse fishing. It is therefore a valuable tool to vary your presentations without multiplying accessories, offering a single solution to quickly boost the visual and olfactory appeal of your rigs.
The primary advantage of the NASH Maggot Screw is the time saved when rigging. Instead of multiplying knots, sleeves and accessories to position your maggots, a simple twist of the screw into the bait is enough to obtain an effective presentation. This simplicity makes the accessory particularly useful during short sessions, quick after-work fishing or on spots where you must react quickly to changes in fish activity.
Another strong point: the presentation of the maggots remains more stable and better controlled. Rather than scattering insects around the baiting, you concentrate their activity precisely where you want it, right beside the hook. The attractive movements are thus focused on the strike zone, increasing the chances that carp will take the bait without suspicion. This small carp fishing accessory can therefore make the difference on educated fish or in heavily fished waters.
Finally, the maggot bait screw fits into many strategies: zig fishing to intercept fish in the water column, floating presentations with pop-ups, balanced rigs or more traditional fishing with boilies or seeds. You thus have a versatile tool to adapt your approach to the season, water temperature or fish behaviour, while keeping a single, easy-to-carry accessory in your tackle box.
To get the most from the NASH Maggot Screw, start by preparing your main bait (zig foam, pop-up, boilie or other chosen bait). Screw the Maggot Screw gently into the centre or the densest part of the bait, taking care not to crack it. Once the screw is correctly positioned, add live maggots around the designated area, ensuring they remain mobile and clearly visible.
Adjust the number of maggots according to conditions: a few insects may be enough on very clear or pressured waters, while a larger quantity can be useful when visibility is reduced or fish are particularly active. Also check your presentation regularly, especially after a strong cast or a missed take, to ensure the screw is still firmly seated in the bait and the maggots remain attractive.
The NASH maggot bait screw can be used on a wide range of classic carp rigs. Feel free to integrate it both for margin fishing and long-range setups, simply adjusting the shape and buoyancy of the main bait. By alternating several bait types on different rods, you can quickly identify the combination that triggers the most bites.
