Watched a number of your videos mate they're really good. I like the fact that your reviews are actually a review and you go into a bit of detail. The fishing world needs more content like this. Happy rig tying

Thanks for watching, don't you know someone who can send you on? But probably expensive to ship to Belguim??

Picked my one up today. Very impressed. As you said you can customize to suit your own set up. Will be getting lots of use. I see the Rig pins has been mentioned. I use mainly Stotz so will use the slots to fit the 4 sizes i use.. Good review John. Cheers. PS, The outside of the box showed where the majority of the bits went.

Thanks for the review. I've been looking at the rig mate for a while but I can't justify spending that sort of money but I think this may prize open my wallet 😮

Excellent unboxing - not easy to do! This is well thought out and designed, I’d be interested if they decide to sell the shot box separately. I have the Rigmate (review on my channel) which has been excellent. I got it when I went back to Balebini shot for carp rigs (still use stotz for silvers). There isn’t enough in this to make me change, but at £60 good value I think. As you don’t shot your rigs at home I do think you’re missing the main advantage of owning a rig board which in my view is shotting rigs accurately and consistently. I personally wouldn’t want to be putting Balebini on my rigs on the bank, far too fiddly for my hands but we’re all different.

Thanks for the comments Paul....love the channel by the way👍. I think this purchase might persuade me to do a bit more shotting when tying rigs? I think If I were doing a lot of shallow fishing then pre shotting would definitely be an advantage....will be interesting to see how I am using it in 6 months time???

Another great presentation John👏. I personally made my own rig board using white Mdf 1mtr long, which I marked out with permanent marker pen with 2 spool holders with retaining thumb screws and washers for tension, all line up spot on, utilising pop rivets for my pins, I keep all my stotz in original dispenser. When not in use Rivets left in Mdf along with thumb tension screws. All shot, line, loop tier, line and scissors, sprung jewellery pliers keep in plastic linch box with lockable lid. Cost max in total £6.00-£7.00 I usually make 2 rigs of each type so no need to take rig tier to bank all done in shed. To part with approx £60 for Preston plastic box which looks quite brittle is a non event for me 👍

The box will close with the two big rig pins in place, there are recess holes for them on the opposite lids. Its only the small hooklength twisted pins that need to be removed, if you use them

I just checked and you right, how did I miss that, will probably do another video about it in a couple of months, so will make sure to mention that😊👍

I'll settle for my Jordan Holloway Rig-Mate, I wonder where Preston got the idea from? There is a tutorial on the Preston website.

Rig boards have been around for donkeys years, some people make their own. Jordans one looks nice but you can't pack it away quickly. It's the storage I really like, the fact it's rig board as well is a bonus for me.

you can shut it with big pins in just not the small hooklength pins

It will definitely make a gap in your wallet. I've seen a few saying latches are difficult to open, but you didn't seem to have any problems. Hope you find it useful. Do you think you've got enough silicone for those floats 😅
