Lumpy,

Do you have the new style Ian Golds wallet, with the zipped mesh pocket on the inside of each cover ?

btw....even good quality poly bags can get ripped, but with the Ian Golds wallets you can buy spare bags, they come in packets of 10 and are easy to fit back into the wallet.

Tom.

I have a ron thompson rig wallet for a few years and its been ok. I bought a second one and it fell apart at home as the metal clips and plastic zips fell off. I brought it back for a replacement to the tackle shop and we had to go through a few until I got one that was ok. Thats worked out fine and if you get a good one they seem to last as the plastic bags are strong.

Just got a Fisheagle rig wallet cheap and cheerful for a tenner at Glasgow Angling Centre but the main reason i got it was that i got ten Greys rigs free with it too :) Which was nice!!! Prob fall apart soon but it'll do for the time being!
I usually put a bit of Talc in my rig bags after they have been washed to keep the rigs lasting longer anyone else have any tips for getting the most use from your rigs?
