Rig Lifetime

[ernie1982]

Hi guys,

 

I am wanting to know if anyone can tell me how long you leave your pre tied rigs in your rig wallet for before remaking them?

Reason being I am next going fishing early March and have to go have an operation on my arm next week and will be unable to tie them for just before I go.

 

If i made them up this week, would they 'keep' fine for about 9/10 weeks made up until i go in march and still be up for the job and work as well? i.e sharpness, knot strength etc..shop bought pre tied are a big no no! I use a korda rigsafe box..

I imagine they would be fine if they are just in your wallet.

I don't think they have a lifespan as such. The only thing that limits their life is usage. If you are using them a lot then they can get damaged and hooks can become blunt - but if they are just sitting in your rig wallet then they should be fine for years.

Your rigs will last for years unused and left in your wallet. Otherwise shop brought ready mades would have a sell by date on them.
