Anybody used these guys. Prices seem great. Looking for ready made rigs and these seem cheapest by a mile. No idea of quality though. Hoping someone can shed light as prices are suspiciously low.
Or if you know other suppliers with good prices/quality let us all know...
Cheers for any input.
Dave

I used them a while ago. They took about 3 weeks to send out the order and two items were missing :x
Emailed them and they responded very quickly. Said the items were out of stock and they would refund.
Didnt buy any readymade rigs other than mackerel rigs so wouldnt know how good they are.
Will be ordering from them again because i havent seen anywhere cheaper.
You could try making the rigs yourself and save even more and you would be sure that they are good quality.

i dont like using eady made rigs, rarely trust their knots, lost too many fish on rigs with poor knots, for the few mins it takes to make a rig its always better to go to the bother

buy a cuple of good ready made rigs, gemini, mustad etc and then copy them thats the best way also get the magazines they are a wealth of information for the newcomer.

oh i forgot a mate ordered stuff from jims and if they didnt have th right gear in stock they send cheap copies. that happened to him a couple of times. needless to say he now stays well clear of jims.

Cheers lads. Do prefer tying my own but can't tie huge amounts due to lack of free time, plus I get bored pretty quick. I agree that you don't get the same quality with the shop bought ones but haven't been let down as yet. I like to fill the rig wallet every now and then as i fish a lot of rocky marks and do lose a bit of gear. Think i'll steer clear of jims on what you've said there peacockealot, thanks for the info. Might order a small few from the place suggested by Scamper to see what they're like.
Thanks for the help lads.
Dave
