I had that very problem when I first got my bait apron. My late Mum, a keen angler herself, came up with the idea of cutting the belt off and turning that into 4 belt loops sewn onto the top edge of the apron. I then got an over large army style webbing belt to fit through the belt loops. When I sit down I just slide the apron round to my side, or slip it off and put it over my shoulder. Works like a dream.Old Man River wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 11:32 pm Hi Mark, I used to have a bait apron but daft as I am , I used to sit down when wearing it occasionally, the apron would lie on my lap and the maggots would wriggle out all over the place. My maggot bags just hang to one side , the wriggly critters never manage to ascend the creases and stay in the bottom.

When I speak to young Rossi tomorrow I'll try to remember to ask him about this.Old Man River wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 9:09 pm I was in "Woodys" tackle shop in Hereford last week, and bought a pint of Maggots, I handed over a maggot bag to put yhem in, and whilst talking the maggot Bag came into the conversation, apparently , or so the chap in the shop said Ivan Marks was the "inventor " of the maggot bag, and he tied them up and hung them out of the car window when driving to matches, this was to keep the maggots cool .
TBH its a good story, and I cant fault it, except to say I thought maggot bags may predate Ivan Marks.
Does anybody know when they were first used ? I remember using them when I was about 14 years old, so that would be back in
1966.
