Mmmmmmmmmm, maggots....... (It's only funny if you picture homer simpson drooling)


I'm not sure what creature "fishing maggots" would be (I'm assuming they wouldn't be toxic)- but wax worms are maggots that pupate into a moth, kingworms are baby beetles- both used extensively for a food source, so I personally don't see any reason the larval stage of another critter would be any different.

Except kingworms are bad- (too much chitin to digest I hear, plus there's the whole "eating their way out of the stomache" thing).

Other than being high in fat- wich would be good in a juvenile pac, or one that needs to put on some weight, but not necessarily good as a staple for an adult, my logic wouldn't see any reason to say no.

I'd say drink a couple beers then eat a few- if you don't get sick, you've got a place to recycle your unused bait.
