Rig making.

[bigh]

After being outfished by my fishing buddy on the last 3 occasions we've been out I've decided to start making my own rigs. I've been searching on the web for ages looking for a supplier of a "rig making outfit" without any real success. I know a lot of you guys make your own rigs so can anyone tell me where I can get Crimping Pliers and crimps etc. Much obliged for any info.

Hi Harry, I got mine from a local tackle shop. Try one of the local shops over your way mate. Most tackle shops will have crimps though.

Good God Jim, where you sitting waiting for somebody to ask a question ???
I would m8 but the only tackle shop near me is total pants, so I was looking to buy on-line.

[willywetegg]

If you can't get one let me know and I should be able to get you one over her mate and can post it for you.

Good God Jim, where you sitting waiting for somebody to ask a question ???

Lol no mate, I had just been round to the hospital to pick my wife up and it was on when I got back.

I've never had any bother, maybe Royal Snail have cocked up, have you tried contacting them?

[mickthefish]

i contacted them 6 days ago and they said they didnt have any in stock until tomorrow (5 days ago)
i bought it "buy it now" off ebay.
i checked their feedback and they have made loads of sales but there is still quite a few negative comments.
if they TOLD me id have to wait aleast 2 weeks cos theres none in stock , no problem.
good job i never caught a 12lb er last night.

not only that , but i also ordered a drop net which they DID have but wouldnt send them separetly.
probly to save them 2 quid or something.

Aye that's bad crack Mick, I've only ever ordered hooks from them, those Alan Yates SuperXW's & SpecialXW's are great for flowing traces on the boat.
