A Couple of Gadgets
The name Efgeego rings a bell? I used it when when wading and trotting on the Trent, before I bought a Shakespeare bait apron.
It fell over once, and I'll never forget the feeling of those chub bumping into the legs of my waders, as they mopped up the spilled maggots!
We never took less than a gallon of maggots each after that, and it paid off.
Bought from a little village shop in France in the early 70's, I was told that it was a "must have" !
But I wouldn't trust it when barbel fishing with a treasured rod.

I gave one of those bait box holders away years ago... they were quite good...
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

They still use the "rod rest" in France - in fact I have seen then frequently!

I do like the bait waiter Banksey!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: A Couple of Gadgets
Banksy, Efgeeco did indeed do one, but not the one you've highlighted. The left hand holder is the same or similar to yours, but no trade name is present ( so I suppose you still couldn't discount Efgeeco, I was told it was Pegley Davis, who knows). The Efgeeco holder is on the right. The Efgeeco has a different mechanism, a spring is situated between the two holders which one screws down into, to hold the bait containers.
