Pre-made rig storage

Post by Atticus »

Okay ladies- I make rigs by tying leader material to a hook (CSMarine will vouch for the knots being stellar) then I lay the rig (hook and leader material) flat on the counter.

Here is the tip- Then I take a square foot or so of aluminum foil, fold it in half once, place the coiled rig on top of one side of the now rectangular (square folded in half one time = rectangle) foil, then fold the other side of the rectangle back over the leader, then fold over the three edges

This keeps rigs pre-stored, dry, flat and out of the sun

I write on the rigs with a Sharpie so I know what I have got and I store them in a plastic bag

I even use my geeky page tabs to keep track of which rig is which so I don't have to do any reading during a hot bite

Here you can see the tabs I use to designate the important ones, in this case a grouper rig is designated by an orange tab, you can also see the plain gallon plastic bag which I hold up to about 20 of these in
