How to Make a Rig Board - Tie Surf Rigs

In this video we show you how to make a simple rig board from scrap wood for the same price as buying two Pompano Rigs. Once you make your board, you can make rigs for your friends, family, and anyone else that needs help catching fish on the surf for a fraction of the cost.
Buy your hooks, beads, floats, swivels, and paint (for hooks and floats) on Amazon. Start a new hobby!

Really like your video. I'd like to make my own rigs, new to surf fishing. Could you post dimensions for peg locations?

[@Saltwise]

Welcome to Surf Fishing! Peg locations for the drop loops are two equidistant triangles 5" apart. The two top pegs are 16” apart. The spool peg can be placed anywhere as long as there's enough space for the spool to turn freely.

I used rig boards to accommodate my customers for many years now I use small pill bottles that are moisture proof easy to store and easy to throw one to an angler in need sweet and easy

I made mine the other day. Huge time saver.

Damn good video! Making one this weekend!

[@Saltwise]

Hope you got it built, thanks for commenting!

[@Mollyknoxie]

Good

[@Saltwise]

Glad you like!

[@gamingwithlumpy4302]

how are you putting tension on the spool so the line stay tight like that? might be a dumb question but Ive watched 4 videos on these things and no one has said anything about it

[@Saltwise]

Since the line is wrapped around the pegs it stays nice and tight

[@georgeiannetta7549]

Tisis a great Idea but maybe I missed some thing =.It would be very helpfulto give the meaursments where you place the pegs on the board in example the firt peg is set at x amount of inches from the end of board.

Great!! I would like to make a continuous spool of rigs so I can spool one off as needed while surf fishing. How much space between last and first droppers should I leave for sinker and swivel? I am thinking 36" so that there would be 18" line outside T and B droppers to attach sinker and swivel? More? Thanks.

[@Saltwise]

Nice! I like that idea! I think 18 inches on each end is good so that you have enough tag for your swivel and sinker rigging. Also, try a single drop rig especially in clearer water, some people think that the double drop can scare away the pomps. The double drop is nice because you have a chance to double up when the school runs through and of course for different bead, float, bait, and depth combinations.

With 5” triangle how long of a drop loop does it creat? Thanks

[@Saltwise]

Thanks for the comment! 5" triangles will get you a dropper loop that's around 4.5" long. Really depends on how tight or loose you tie it down, but approximately four and half inches give or take.

[@demetriustrahan]

Good mrng sir. How much would you chargecto make this board but 12 inches by 2.

[@Saltwise]

Greetings! Here’s a link to a business that offers a really nice rig board. Not sure if they can customize one for you, but perhaps they sell something that will accommodate your needs birdofpreyfishingtackle.com/products/pompano-rig-tying-board

[@demetriustrahan]

Good mrng. Hope you are well. Truly enjoyed your video. I would like to purchase a peg board from you sir. How much would you charge me for one of them? I would want the board a little wider. Because I will have a commercial role of spool. Can you get back to me and let me know if you can build me one. This would totally help me with speed as I make 50 a night the old fashion way. Thank you sir.

[@thesinkerguy849]

I will have to disagree with how you are putting your hook on.

[@Saltwise]

Everyone makes rigs just a little different. Thanks for the comment!

[@bufarah001]

Yep, the line should enter from the hook side instead of the back side when using circle hooks
