squidhead 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi all,Just a quick question and comment on rig holders. As a new comer to sea fishing I found out really quickly that rigs are different to fresh water fishing (paternosters etc). I have been scratching my head about how to efficiently and safely store my rigs and wanted to keep the whole system compact too. I noticed that the pre-tied whiting type rigs that you can buy in Big W, Coles, K-Mart etc etc, come packaged on a small foam board that has slits on all corners (i'm sure you've all seen them). I thought that I would buy some of the foam to 'copy' this system. Works a treat...and I thoroughly recommend it to any one who wants a cheap and efficient rig holder system.You can buy foam boards that are 6mm thick in A4 size for about $4.00 from Artstar. The one I used was in the MArion shopping centre right next to K-Mart. One sheet of the stuff can be cut into cigarette size rectangles and it makes about 10 rig holders. Awesome!!!That was my comment but I also wanted to ask what other cheap and effective systems people are using to hold their rigs?Best of fishingPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woody 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Nice one Phil, I usually just use cardboard and I bought some cheap rig wallets off eBay for $3. They're basically just a wallet of snap lock bags (like your 'Glad Bags") but in wallet form.The main reason I prefer the cardboard over the foam is that I can fit more rigs into my wallet with the cardboard.

Just Me 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Pretty much the same as you mate, 'cept i get the foam from packaging, not polystyrene but the like of the foam that's used for laptops etc. Also i still have a good collection of old camera film canisters, the lil black platic ones with the grey lids.

Raider 19 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Same guys i jus use the little zip lock bags I bought from a shop in the central markets, i dont worry to much bout card though if its a fresh rig they hardly get tangled to badly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borryking 6 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Small ziplock bags. Coil the rig up then leave the connection loop hanging out the top. Clip on your snap swivel or tie on the main line and lift the rig out usually with a minimum of tangles. You can get packs of hundreds on ebay very cheap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I changed the screen and now I have 2 x 15.6" foam rig holders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellowbelly14 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Ziplock bags are the go but I hang mine in shed on hooks that you can buy from cheap as chips, at least there off the floor and are not in a twist then i put straight onto rod when ready to go fishing but each to there own and have made a rod holder as well to store my rods on so don't get damaged.
