Whilst I was looking for some old World Champ programmes I came across our bait bill for the Inter Club World Championships in Sweden, 1987.

Can anyone work out the cost; there is a red squatt on offer for the nearest:

48 gallons of caster maggots
15 gallons of red maggots
18 gallons of red pinkies


Best of luck

Did you have a "tash" then ?

Putting out of misery time.

All the big maggots were £4.60 per gallon from Ike's maggot farm at Oakengates.
They didn't do pinkies so Frank Barlow sorted us out 18 gallons at £6 a gallon.

Total cost was £397-80.

Funny part was we drew next to Italy who fished their National side. They had gallon upon gallon of bloodworm and joker flown in from Italy on match morning, - the cost was over £1000 in those days. crappity smack glad Spain won the Euros
