Rigmate - Fishing gear

This product is one of my personal favourites. Rigmate is a versatile fishing rig DIY tool that lets you make your own rigs without tying complicated dropper knots. Saving time and frustration. Just spool off the number of loops you need and attach hooks and a sinker or berley cage. I usually allow an extra loop so I can just attach the whole rig to my snap swivel attached to my mainline.

The product is available in a range of line strengths from 5lb up to 1001lb. So it's great for a range of species, freshwater and saltwater. From paternoster rigs, running sinker and more.
