Rig Winders

[OldGreyDog]

So you find bait fishing is OK for the rest of the seasons?

Hard to say because i’m enjoying lure fishing so much that I hardly ever bait fish anymore. Last year I think I bait fished only twice and one of those times I made an exception to show a face in a friendly group session. I’m likely to be moving house this year and if I don’t get around to using my beach rods/reels within a year at our new location i’ll probably sell them off…

Anybody using rig winders, are they any good / useful.. or another gimmick

I use them. Find them quite good. Especially pulley rigs and clip down rigs

I’ve got a couple of AFAW rig wallets I like but not sure if they do them now?

Tronixpro do quite a similar match wallet,
but you're right those AFAW wallets are superb with loads of pockets for extra hooks & bits.

Yes I quite like them although the zip never seems to last but I’ve used one for years without a zip, it’s not really necessary

Admittedly I always forget to clean and lube zips until it’s too late

Ah just noticed doesn't appear to be the zipper type bags.. I prefer those

Ref the Tronixpro I mentioned above I ordered one from the bay, and have to say I'm actually very disappointed, for a start it's only about A5 size, where as most rig wallets are closer to A4 size, while the bags are cheap self seal not the zip-lock type, & there certainly isn't enough room for 10 beach rigs with impact shields,
It would probably be OK with boat rigs, simple flowing traces, paternoster or other basic rigs with nothing but line & hooks.

I use cast carriers that were once made for fly anglers and store them in a rig wallet. I cut out the shape from old plastic file covers.

Thanks for the heads up
