:: what do you use when you dye maggots (red)?

I can buy coloured maggots from the tackla shop too but it costs to
much. The methods you mention won't it just dye the maggots on the outside?

Unless you breed and grow your own maggots you are stuck. To get the colour
inside you must feed it to them as they grow. It -is- possible to dye full
grown maggots but not without killing them.

Are all maggot dyes internal now then? ISTR that chrysodine (before it
was banned) was applied externally to full-grown maggots, but others
like annatto were fed.
