Enterprise Tackle Imitation Maggots

Super soft and buoyant, these imitation maggots are available in two sizes and can be used directly on the hook or hair rig. Perfect for situations where a slow-sinking hook bait is needed—such as when fish are feeding on the drop—these versatile baits can be used alone or combined with real maggots to create a popped-up or critically balanced presentation. Especially effective when fishing over weed or debris, they help lift the hookbait above the bottom for better visibility and hooking potential. By pairing them with an appropriately sized hook, you can fine-tune the buoyancy to suit your rig setup. These imitation maggots are also a great solution when small nuisance fish are stripping real maggots off the hook, offering greater durability without compromising attraction. They’re best used alongside real maggots, either as loose feed or in PVA bags. For proper rigging, insert the hook and slide the maggot around the bend, ensuring the hook point remains exposed for optimal penetration. Multiple maggots may be needed to achieve a fully popped-up bait. Resistant to crayfish and other bait-destroying species, these imitation maggots provide a reliable and long-lasting hookbait option for pressured waters and tough fishing conditions.
