spudder Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i filled up most of my safe today for spares..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterrun Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I used to keep about a dozen or so different rigs in safe, but found I rarely used them, as I make 'em up on the bamk. I still keep a couple of stiff rigs and three or four braid rigs in there just in case I need to try something different. But to be honest, I cant remember when I last looked in there!!

salokcinnodrog Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I've got 2 rig bins full and a rig wallet with another 10 or so in. Guess that makes 30 rigs I have tied up at the moment. As I kill a rig at the end of a session I tie a new one. A few D-rigs for Pop-ups/Snowman presentations, the most are just knotless knotted or line aligned. Vert few Stiff rigs, I think just 2. I do have a fair number of Combi rigs tied up for 1 particular water where I do need to find the right presentation. I don't play around with my rigs much, so although I do have a few different lengths and hair lengths tied most are pretty much the same!

tonybranno Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ive got about 15 or 20 made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silly12sally Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hardly any. I rotate 3 of my club waters. Each very different with varying swims too. I am never sure what length or type of rig I use. It would usually be Snakebite or Amnesia but which length? Hair? Hook Pattern? Stiff Rig? Pop up? Zig? I tie as I go along personalising the rig to each situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andypalf Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've got a couple dozen in my rig wallet and hardly ever tie them on the bank. Almost all of my fishing is with a line aligner using uncoated braid and my current hooks. So I have a few of these tied with different size hooks and different hair length. And then I've got a couple combi-rigs, a couple D-rigs etc. I find I can cover all the fishing I want to do with about 3/4 different rigs.

snobber Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used to carry a load but now I only have 2 these are usually baited and ready to cast with a stocking full on pellet around the hook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirdjones Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've got the same rig wallet, great bit of kit I did have 20 something rigs tied but i'm slowly using them up and I haven't tied any for a few months. I've got to tie a some more before my next session. I'll probably make about 10 to last me a couple of sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayonhussy Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I normaly just make 3 or 4 rigs the night before I go. If the situation requires fine tuning then Ill do it on the bank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpingod150 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just end up making them when I'm bored at home and can't go fishing, hence why I've tried to cram about 40 or so in a standard Trakker rig board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
