your lighting is average at best

I’ve had a go at this after a couple of tries I got the hang of it it works very well and produces a nice loop

I have been using this method for some time but I.blob.the line instead of tying a knot. Its always been solid.

I can tie these but probably not to the quality of the guru hook lengths I buy pre tied plus it saves a load of time.

Brilliant 🎉 can see this developing.

Looks great and you make it look easy think it’s going to take. Quite a bit of practice 😮

Been using this for a while to get loops same every time - easier to handle than what's on market kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHaqZJqjob2eaacsi=Z3hdbhC-L7ZTfhBA

Thanks for sharing, Bob nudd himself uses spade end hooks for hair rigs, but he didn't show me how to tie it ! So, for years now, I've always wondered how to tie hair on a spade end hook. FYI, you can tie a knotless knot without having the ugly knot on the hair, which is how I do them. Simply form the loop with the band in it, then whip over the line up the shank. If I tie them for feeder fishing, I leave the tag end in place, which enables you to adjust the hair length to suit the bait being used. Anyway, I hope I made sense !!!!!

Nicely done fella

I tie my eyed hair rigs using a fly tying vice to hold the hook.

Life is too short so I’ll keep buying the blue sticks at my age .

i use a gizmo for all my hooks eyed and spade

Very good Jon Thank you,

Hi John - good video , don’t you use the Rite fish weigher attachment any more ?? Can you do a review update on the product as to why you don’t ???

A very good revue on that rig station Jon, sorry i see it late, you did a good job, and it looks brilliant mate, Thank you,

Got one myself now John, have to say this vid helped me out. Now I've used it and set it up my way I'm well pleased - Cheers 👍

A 6” Smooth File works best for me

Most people apparently don't know that Led Lights permanently damage the eyes of both humans and animals, take care. 💖

Another great presentation John👏. I personally made my own rig board using white Mdf 1mtr long, which I marked out with permanent marker pen with 2 spool holders with retaining thumb screws and washers for tension, all line up spot on, utilising pop rivets for my pins, I keep all my stotz in original dispenser. When not in use Rivets left in Mdf along with thumb tension screws. All shot, line, loop tier, line and scissors, sprung jewellery pliers keep in plastic linch box with lockable lid. Cost max in total £6.00-£7.00 I usually make 2 rigs of each type so no need to take rig tier to bank all done in shed. To part with approx £60 for Preston plastic box which looks quite brittle is a non event for me 👍

The box will close with the two big rig pins in place, there are recess holes for them on the opposite lids. Its only the small hooklength twisted pins that need to be removed, if you use them

How’s it standing up to the riggers of match fishing?

you can shut it with big pins in just not the small hooklength pins

Have a look on box John, it maybe SOS not strobe, when it’s flashing. 👍thanks for the review.

I have tried one of these before but it kept making me feel light headed😂😂

If you dont like it dont buy one quite simple but some people like them

Looks like to much fecking about love the one I made cost me nothing fancy buying something and u don't no what anything is must have more money than sense

Perfect review! This convinced me even more that i need this in my life but sadly not available yet in Belgium.

Thx John. Looks like a good bit of useful kit. Wont b buying one tho at that price 😱 maybe if £40. All the top makes are overpricing their gear 😡

mass produced plastic box small box 60 pounds..i would say max price 25 pounds ,toys for boys,no red go faster stripe ether ,no it money not well spent sorry plastic breaks,,

Not bothered two nails in wood just same

It would be better if it attached/clipped to cassettes on the box so could take it with you if needed

£60 in my local tackle shop,it's a plastic box,nearly fell over when I saw what it costs,sorry Preston,your having a laugh at the expense of the angler,🤨

A decent, thorough, and interesting video John.. TY for posting...

It will definitely make a gap in your wallet. I've seen a few saying latches are difficult to open, but you didn't seem to have any problems. Hope you find it useful. Do you think you've got enough silicone for those floats 😅

Why didn't the put on a hooktyer that could be attached to bracket in one end like at stonfo calibrone. ....

Can't take you seriously with that on your t-shirt . Sorry as I normally love your videos

Watched a number of your videos mate they're really good. I like the fact that your reviews are actually a review and you go into a bit of detail. The fishing world needs more content like this. Happy rig tying

Would of thought the 6 magnetic compartments are for hooks Shot to stay in their own containers on the other side

I'll settle for my Jordan Holloway Rig-Mate, I wonder where Preston got the idea from? There is a tutorial on the Preston website.

Excellent unboxing - not easy to do! This is well thought out and designed, I’d be interested if they decide to sell the shot box separately. I have the Rigmate (review on my channel) which has been excellent. I got it when I went back to Balebini shot for carp rigs (still use stotz for silvers). There isn’t enough in this to make me change, but at £60 good value I think. As you don’t shot your rigs at home I do think you’re missing the main advantage of owning a rig board which in my view is shotting rigs accurately and consistently. I personally wouldn’t want to be putting Balebini on my rigs on the bank, far too fiddly for my hands but we’re all different.

the bolts are for for your line spools.

Use a washer for spools john

Good review not cheap, I bought one paid 55.00 quid for it bargain 👍🏻

Picked my one up today. Very impressed. As you said you can customize to suit your own set up. Will be getting lots of use. I see the Rig pins has been mentioned. I use mainly Stotz so will use the slots to fit the 4 sizes i use.. Good review John. Cheers. PS, The outside of the box showed where the majority of the bits went.

Great TShirt John

I'll stick to my piece of wood with nails in ty.

what is the distance between the rig pegs Please

Thanks for the review. I've been looking at the rig mate for a while but I can't justify spending that sort of money but I think this may prize open my wallet 😮

Good review 😊 Just to say you can shut the rig station with the rig pins still in place, but not with the hook length pins in.

Shouldn't you have placed an inner tube sleve for support ?
