Squat??

What is squat and what can you catch on it??

i don't no if i got the name right but they are red with a tiny body and move like maggots but about a 1/4 of the size.

Squatts are more commonly known in some quarters as feeders and they are the larvae of the housefly. They are the smallest of the larvae used for fishing and are consequently used mainly for feeding. They can be used when "balling-up" with groundbait to provide an irresistible carpet of feed. They can be fished with as a hook bait but require tiny hooks and are somewhat fiddly - though some days they can make the difference between catching and blanking.
These can be ideal on canals, but not much else where.
N.B. They have are a squatt only for a very short time, so if purchased use on the day of buying them

yes the squat is great for the days when fish are hard to catch but i would use size 20 - 22 hook which for my eye sight in my later years are hard to see

great for a swimfeeder mix though

what about a pinkie ?????
