the anyfish anywhere match rig wallet. its a wee bit expensive but has a large capacity not only for rigs but also the other essential bits and bobs you need.

Got one of those the other day, a bit bulky but a fine wallet altogether with loads of pockety things etc. 35 euro I think it was which isnt cheap for a rig wallet but ill not be buying another anytime soon.

i'm thinking the same pete but i think its one of those situations where you buy 1 and it lasts for years

an excellent wallet i have to say, but the question still remains.....what do you need one of that size for really....it is just too big sometimes, i have recently stopped using mine in the shore box because it just took up too much room in it, i have now went back to using 2 smaller ones which take all rigs and odds and ends required and take up far less room...

i prefer to carry all my hooks and alot of pre tied rigs rather than a box with all my bits and bobs. i also like having a large number of specific rigs for specific situations.it also holds my tweezers, pliers, mag light and bait elastic. also i do alot of fishing for bull huss and conger with heavy pulley rigs. as we tend to double pat and both these fish can mangle a trace fairly quickly its a handy sized wallet to hold all these traces.in hindsight its probably totally unnecessary but wat can ya do :lol:

Brings to mind the conversation between myself and Paul in the tackle shop at the weekend.

"What you buying one of them for?"

"Cos I havent got one....."

Kind of sums it up really. I do like it though.

Had a brief play with one in the shop on Sun, a grand poky rod. Went for a PPT Sidewinder at the finish.
