Malc Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I know some people just buy off the shelf rigs due to time constraints or not needing many but I have a good number of rigs made up for various types of fishing and for the kayak, boat and shore. I tend to use a rig wallet for the kayak as its less space and generally rig winders elsewhere and especially for feathers/sabikis because as my friend says; Somewhere in Asia is a little old lady who knows how to mess with you by making sure that your rig looks good in the packet but will turn into knitting as soon as you try to get it out! I noticed that tronix have put a small hole in the inside of the winder spool to put the link or swivel to start winding, which is a good idea I think. However do you have any tweaks or other ideas?

With pre made rigs I find if you attach a small weight to it before taking off the twist wrap then they fall nicely without tangle. Trouble is I always forget to do it 😬 Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is I always forget to do it 😬 I do the twist wraps for anything that goes in the rig wallet, and do it the opposite way by attaching the mainline to the swivel but still get a plate load of spaghetti! Hence the thread 😁 Edited August 29 by Malc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 By attaching a small 2oz weight and holding the swivel it does make things a tad easier as you only have to untangle the snoods, and not the main body too. daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 new packs of feathers on the card backing are the worst - i attach a small lead to keep it taut, then undo one hook at a time - if someone takes all the hooks off at the same time that's their problem! i find winders are good for multi hook rigs, and use them on the boat but tend to use a wallet from the shore as you say malc, due to space in the tackle box Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
