This Page is designed to help anglers who want to make their own rigs, If you follow the patterns on this page and then adjust them to suit your style of fishing, you won't be far wrong. Remember not all anglers are experts, there are anglers who are new to making rigs, so we have made this page as easy to follow as we think possible.

As you can see the waggler rig is very easy to us, it is designed to be almost tangle free, the float is attached bottom end only and locked into place by two shot this helps the float to be cast as the weight is mainly loaded around the float, the other shot are spaced down the line and need to be balanced to the type of fishing you are doing, this is only a very basic representation of the waggler rig and needs to be fine tuned but it gives you the basic idea. ................ The stick float rig is more specialised and needs to be balanced, the float is attached top and bottom with rubber float bands and the shot evenly spaced down the line to catch the flow and present the bait as naturally as possible, this is only a very basic representation of the stickfloat rig and needs to be fine tuned but it gives you the basic idea, the casting needs to be learned a underhand cast is perfect for this type of rig to keep tangles to a minimum







These are very basic Ledger rigs, the components differ only by the use of a ledger boom, both rigs use a arseley bomb and is stopped from falling to the hook by a ledger stop available in most tackle shops, the bottom rig has a ledger boom to which the ledger weight is attached this allows the hook length to stand clear of the maine line for casting.
The loop rig is one of the most effective ledger rig i have ever used, the idea is that the way the rig is made allows the hook length to stand off for casting but incorporates a bolt rig system which can aid in hooking fish now tht i am getting older i need as much help as possible.






How to make the Loop Rig.
First select the weight you want to use and thread it onto your main line and then add a small bead, then make a large loop of about 2 foot and use a three turn water knot to complete the loop.
then take about 9 inches of the loop from bottom and tie another 3 turn water knot, but allow the weight to hang very slightly lower on the bottom line but keep it in the top loop.
Then take the 9 inch loop and tir a 3 turn water knot about 3 inches from the bottom of the loop, once this has been completed the weight should hand in the first loop but the second loop should hang horizontal to make the stand off loop the third loop is where the hook length is attached,
he idea is when the rig is being used and is laying on the lake or river bed And the line has been set as to allow the quiver tip to bend slightly the weight is at the bottom of the first loop when(if) a fish picks up the bait and moves it the line can move through the swivel on the weight to show the bite but if the fish picks up the bait and runs the weight will stop at the top knot and hook the fish.
