As I have said before I was brought up as a child up to the age of 18 (1945-1961), above a rod builder in Leamington Spa, Bill (Knocker) Norris. Now Bill also had a maggot breeding farm, fortunately 5 miles away, deep in the country. I spent many hours in the workshop, shop and at the bait farm. In all that time I never heard the name 'casters' mentioned. I used them, but they were always referred to just as Chrysalis. We used them in dark form, when they floated, for catching dace off the surface. I cannot recall them ever being called Casters and I am not sure they were ever sold in that state.
Am I right and was the name only used later? I reckon it was the 70's before I heard the name mentioned.
