New Rig Wallet???

Tue Oct 17, 2006 4:53 pm

Hello lads(lasses)
Just recently my old rig wallet fell to pieces but i cant really complain because it was years old anyway so, now im in the market for a new one. If anyone has any recemendations or warnings for that matter, on a new purchase, i would appreciate it,
thanks in advance!

the anyfish anywhere match rig wallet. its a wee bit expensive but has a large capacity not only for rigs but also the other essential bits and bobs you need.

Got one of those the other day, a bit bulky but a fine wallet altogether with loads of pockety things etc. 35 euro I think it was which isnt cheap for a rig wallet but ill not be buying another anytime soon.

i'm thinking the same pete but i think its one of those situations where you buy 1 and it lasts for years

an excellent wallet i have to say, but the question still remains.....what do you need one of that size for really....it is just too big sometimes, i have recently stopped using mine in the shore box because it just took up too much room in it, i have now went back to using 2 smaller ones which take all rigs and odds and ends required and take up far less room...

Its cos you can get your lap top in it as well, oh and stand it up like a tent and hey presto....beach buddy! :lol: They are an awful size alright but it does mean there are no excuses for leaving anything at home....

i prefer to carry all my hooks and alot of pre tied rigs rather than a box with all my bits and bobs. i also like having a large number of specific rigs for specific situations.it also holds my tweezers, pliers, mag light and bait elastic. also i do alot of fishing for bull huss and conger with heavy pulley rigs. as we tend to double pat and both these fish can mangle a trace fairly quickly its a handy sized wallet to hold all these traces.in hindsight its probably totally unnecessary but wat can ya do :lol:

Brings to mind the conversation between myself and Paul in the tackle shop at the weekend.

"What you buying one of them for?"

"Cos I havent got one....."

Kind of sums it up really. I do like it though.

Had a brief play with one in the shop on Sun, a grand poky rod. Went for a PPT Sidewinder at the finish.

You *have* seen my car- I still haven't removed my tackle boxes from the back seat (nor my rods)
