My Rigs & Setups

Welcome to the Rigs and Setups hub. Whether you are prepping for a match on the River Soar or heading out for a relaxing afternoon's pleasure fishing, having confidence in your terminal tackle is half the battle.

In this section, I've pulled together the exact rigs and setups that I rely on week in, week out. We cover everything from simple float-fished basics to the technical rig mechanics needed to fool wary fish in difficult conditions.

What's in my rig box?

  • Technical Breakdowns: A deep dive into why certain shots, floats, and lines.
  • Match-Tested Rigs: The setups I'm currently using in competitions.
  • Beginner-Friendly Tips: Easy-to-follow guides to get you started with the right foundations.
