Usually tie my own rigs, and have got quite a few to do, but recently a rig supplier popped up on eBay from Somerset, and this guy kept appearing in the listing photos!

Never seem to have much time for rig making at the moment, so have ordered a couple of packs.
If they are good enough for Si, they'll be good enough for me! 😁😁👍👍

I can vouch for them the 3 hook loops are very nice and work perfectly.
They are more robust than the L&M rigs and they are a little longer in the body.

Have ordered some Wishbone rigs, and coincidentally, some 3 hook loop rigs Pete! 🎣🎣👍👍

I liked the way the rigs are made, and it will give me the option of making a few copies in future if needed.

Not that I am recommending this because it will damage the integrity of the rig BUT if you lose a hook you can gently squeeze the crimps and adjust the snood on the rig body they are not so heavily crimped which imo is a good thing given over crimping weakens the body.
 
Thanks for the mention Trampster - Seaswest is in it's 7th year as a rig tying business. I only sell what I would use myself. When I get a bit of free time I will sort out some discounts for you guys (y) Here's a ray I had a couple of trips ago on one of my sliding pulley rigs ray 8.02.JPG

I have purchased dozens of your rigs over the last few months, (too lazy to tie my own), and i would highly recommend them all. I use your up-n-overs and Portsmouth rigs (loop rigs) a lot, top quality. 🎣 🎣

Cracking ray Kev!

I’m happy with what I use for most of my fishing but certainly plaice rigs are a bit of a dark art to me and might well get some if/when I’m feeling sadomasochistic and fancy chesil again (!)

It's nice to see an active fishing forum as social media killed off most of them in everyone's headlong quest to become 'instant stars', trying to make a few pounds via a You Tube Channel,,,,,

It gets very 'active' on here, especially when @Mr Fish is about after dark! 😂😂😂

This is the best forum in my opinion, long may it be around. Don't do social media, hate the things.

I used & liked Twitter for over 10 years but rarely bother much now, though I've still got a few good mates on there.
The 'woke' brigade & activists spoiled Twitter for a lot of folk, me included.
Twitter does come in handy for getting a response out of the customer service desks of a lot of companies - they don't like being slagged off in public!
I also often use it to DM photos from my phone to the Laptop - it saves messing around with a cable.
 
Ah, missed this earlier!....nice to see you comment Kev👍...For what it's worth, I've always found the rigs I've tested worked well and did their job.
Components are all top notch.

I'd definitely buy them (rather than make my own) if I wasn't so tight 🫣 😆😆
 
Just ordered a pack of Ten Wishbone rigs, size 1. And i know the quality will be superb as always. (y)
