How much do you pay for maggots ?

[Evan]

How much are you paying for a pint of maggots where you are, geographically ?

And how much for a pint of beer ??

Just curious, as just got stung for ?4.40 for a pint of maggots while beer is still about ?2.50 - 2.70 at the mo. Used to be, when I was younger, that maggots were slightly cheaper than beer. Is this still generally the case or has the world changed, and / or am I just getting ripped off by my bait supplier ?

I suspect the latter, especially as my last pint of crawlers came up light at only 16 fluid ounces when checked at home....

?2.20 FOR A PINT
caerphilly south wales and i dont like paying that

The trouble is that it is the local chap who does it as a hobby / sideline from home and the only alternative is to spend a fiver or more in petrol there and back to the nearest tackle shop.... bit over a barrel like !

Mind you, not that us Welsh chappies are mean in any way.....

 

[Christian Tyroll]

?2.50 for a pint of maggots and ?3.50 for casters. although there always looks less in the casters.

Cant comment on the price of beer.

 

[Bryan Baron 2]

?2.20 for both.

Evan just think of all those little purchases you miss out on. Not going to the shop.

 

[Milo]

The dearest I've ever seen maggots is ?4.95 a pint!

When the weather is hot why dont you breed your own

 

[stikflote]

[Michael Howson]

My wife and I have just had a weeks holiday in the Lake District. The cost of a pint of boddys and a half of stella was ?3.85 and every pub except one was the same. We called in a pub in Penrith and the same order was ?2.10. How do they arrive at these pricing structures?.

Coudnt say about the maggotts as i never saw a tackle shop.

 

[captain carrott]

1.20 to 1.70 for a pint of smooth.
maggots 2.50 i think.

 

[Ric Elwin]

Maggots ?1.80 to ?2.20

Beer: ?1.50 a pint cheapest or you can pay ?3.00 for a bottle, so ?6.00 a pint.

 

[john ledger]

?2 per pint with a good head on and 4% proof
Maggots ?2 per pint and where i go its serve yourself

 

[ryan garner]

[Day Breamer]

Maggots £2.80 a pint Birmingham

I bet it varies from shop to shop here in Brumbut i dont drive round all day to try and save 50p so i dont know for sure.

 

[Fred Bonney]

Old but relevant I suppose

£2.30 for a very good real ale.

£2.25 for very good maggots.

 

[Wobbly Face (As Per Ed)]

£2.20 to £2.40 for maggots per pint. For the beer, depends on where I go and what I sup.

Local tackle shop £2.20 and he says that maggots are subsidised so makes no profit what so ever on them. He reckons that it would save many a tackle shop if they could make a profit. Not every one buys something else besides maggots when they go in.

Rochdale area, Manchester.

 

[slime monster]
