I know some anglers are confident making their own rigs, sadly that isn't me!

I usually pick up a few in the tackle shop when I collect my bait but I have no clue if they are any good or of decent value.

Where is the go to place for rigs or shall I just stick with the bait shop?
 
That's an easy one to answer! Our very own @kevothefish should be able to sort you out with a selection! Good quality rigs.

https://www.seaswestshop.uk/ Looks like Kev's site is down for maintainance but you could drop him a personal message on here.

I often tie my own. One thing I will say is avoid anything from WSB Tackle. I bought some rigs of theirs - the knots were badly tied and the rigs were falling apart straight out of the packet.
 
Sometimes I think about buying some but I get so much enjoyment making my own , tobe honest iv no trust in anyone else’s lol , nothing better than making your own on the kitchen table and having a few beers same time

I think some people have such hectic lives that it is easier for them to spend £30 on a rig pack rather than get all the components and spend the time tying them up and save the free time for the actual fishing.

Luckily for me I am in a situation when I can pick and choose my orders so do not have to frantically flood social media with posts trying to convince the viewer to buy their rigs as so many are doing.
