Modern Ready Tied !

So who's owning up to buying the occasional spinner rig or pack of loops ( i really do rate loops). Ready rigs today are hard to beat in terms of neat and tidy and value for money, a pack of spinners and a bit of line is cheaper for most people in the short run than buying all the bits for various rigs.

Trying some of the Guru ones they look good in sizes from 12 to 16, got hair rigs on the 12 and a bait band on the 14 for on the bottom, a 16 waggler band rig and a 16 maggot corn waggler rig, eight in a pack at a few quid each 

I'm not tying size 10 to 16 hooks on fine nylon to the same standard as the ready rigs especially the tiny hair rigs all lined up nicely so I'm getting ready tied ⛔

Forgot to say, they are nice and long some are two foot others a metre so you can adjust the length or add a micro swivel.

I couldn't bring myself to use a ready tied rig. Hooks aint sharp enough for my liking but more to the point, imagine losing a special one if the knot went.... you'd never forgive yourself.

I love tying my own rigs, the attention to detail of getting it just right, the little adjustments you make to length and pop-up height for instance - it's all using the grey matter.

I will always remember sitting in my bivvy all day trying to work out why my non tangle rigs were suddenly tangling every cast, chucking fast and low under pylons, did my head in completely.  That day I came up with huge loops over half the length of the boom effectively lengthening the anti tangle sleeves properties if you like, and giving you a set place to mould the rig putty stopping that ever slipping.  By the end of that day I'd come up with better anti tangle properties and more importantly realised that if I tied the hook end section almost in reverse order I had total control of how much stripped braid was left exposed, instead of ending up with whatever you got after tightening the knot.  So I tie the hair last if that makes any sense at all - hard to put in words.  So one problem ended up improving all elements of the rig I'd been tying for years and years. 

I thought about tying rigs many years ago for those who struggled to do it themselves, like a complete custom set-up, was a good idea, couldn't be arsed in the end lol  same as all my other great ideas 🙃🤣
