ready made rigs

[dan]

what ready made rigs are the best for shore angling.
ive used greys and mustad rigs and they've produced for me but i dont know if they're as god as you'll get on the market.

Did you ever think of trying your hand at making your own rigs? Personally I prefer using my own rigs as I know all the knots are tied properly and all the components are decent, not to mention the fact that its a lot cheaper.

Completely agree

[dan]

i do its what ive been usin lately.

[contender]

Have to agree, Make your own.. Make them right and they are better than any shop bought stuff.

i was given a few gerys rigs as a gift, they seem to be the best shop rigs i have seen, but u still prefer to tie my own. i will still buy the odd rig to see how its done and then try to copy it and maybe do my own version of it

[dan]

i normally make my but if im feelin a bit lazy i buy them.
i also tried the greys rigs i find them the best ive tried so far too.

[uvox]

agreed. greys are the business in that space. buy one and use it as a model for your own. it can be an expensive business...

i have used greys rigs alot. I have been known on occasion to be very lazy and take the greys rigs apart and tie additional bits on. for example added an srt spring to a loop rigs or added beads to snoods.
If I have the time I love making my own rigs and finding that they are the ones that catch the most fish.
One point is that the rig maker doesnt know what beach you are going to fish, wether it be a clean beach with slow current where long snoods can be used or the opposite. My rig wallet is bursting to the brink and rigs in there that havent not seen a tap of water.
tying rigs is one of the most relaxing part of preparing

tying rigs is one of the most relaxing part of preparing

It is, unless its the night before a comp and you have a couple of toddlers "helping". Helping meaning beads in mouth and nose, sampling tagends, playing with hooks and threatening to swallow enough metal to sink a ship. Then its not so much fun.... Greys readymade rigs are the best on the market and for the price and quality, I carry a wad of the 3 hook clipped and loop rigs now to save time.

Pete I have all that to look forward to, the wee man is 4 months already

nothing better than cup of tea,lazing on the couch building rigs on a Saturday afternoon. have to say most pre-tied rigs are rubbish, the hooks are big enough to catch moby dick, the swivels are outrageous and the lines thick enough to reel a land rover discovery. theres a new company on the market called irish pro match rigs or something similar, sold in a blue packet. they seem quite good, viking in bray sell them

[dan]

greys rigs hav different sizes of hooks on each of e'm.

[dan]

got a load of the greys shore rigs while i was down in fermanagh. does anyone else use these i believe that out of the ones i've tried so far these are number 1

[beachcaster]

as a matter of interest what other rigs have you tried dan??the greys rigs are very good imho but its hard to beat catching fish on rigs you have made by your own hands!!!!!!!!cheers john

[dan]

mustad, and some other ones i forget the names of. but the best so far is greys by far.

[viking]

that only ready made rigs ive used ever where mustad feathers and even then ill end up changing them about , it works out cheaper making your own and ya know there decent too ,!
