Thanks for going to the trouble setting up this video, awesome dude👌🏻……..just in the process of starting fishing again so getting to the bottom of my pockets unfortunately, so I made my own rigmate, using a piece of wood for the base,1m ruler, drilled several holes and using rivets as pins, I’m able adjust the different lengths required for my hook lengths & overall rig lengths. To hold the spool, I slightly drilled the base and hammered in a 10mm flanged nut, which sits underneath the ruler, then using a threaded knob to hold/lock the spool in place. Looks very much home made, does exactly the same job n more, but only cost me £3.95 for the ruler, as I had everything thing else in my garage, result.
Great video Joe on a great tool for helping making pole rigs, never seen the rigmate pro before until I watched one of your mor recent videos and have always made my rigs up using the the desk I make them on for the rig length and using my fingers to gauge the distance between the shots to get the shorting the same each time using more fingers for wider spread out shot and one finger if I want them closer together
Great item Joe, where can err indoors buy me one for christmas, this would be a great pressie, ha ha just seen the hyperlink, need to do something with that tea towel holder on top though lol Keep it up love these great tips many thanks
They look very well designed, but I use a length of with MDF pre-primed white cladding about 5” wide. Pop rivet on one end to take line loop, marked with perm. marker all down in 1” increments to 16” then every 4” to 30” running up to a carriage bolt with to large washer to hold and tension the spool. Cost £0.00 made from scrap
I so wished I had had the balls to develop my idea 28 years ago when I was doing my Car and product design degree at Coventry uni. I made a board basically the same as this and I still have the drawings etc at me moms in the attic. Unfortunately I joined the civil service as a stop gap but never returned to product design damn still have my prototype at home to this day. Thanks for sharing might go and get one as restarted match fishing this year cheers 🍻
bought myself one of these rigmate pros and must say really pleased with its quality of build , and as joe says in vid so helpful having the mono pulled taught.
Joe. need help mate !!!!!! I want to buy 1 of these systems but I've tried to purchase 1 of these items (rigmate pro) a few times now from the website and every time it just keeps saying sold out or has Jordan Holloway stopped making them? if you are not to busy could you please ask him on a personal level when will they be back on the website as like I said I'm really looking at buying one of the rigmate pro's like yours. thank you very much for reading this comment and look forward to a reply from you boss man
I’m probably being dim, but if you’re wanting to fish at, say 4 foot depth, how come you set all your shots up exactly how you want them, but starting on the loop to the hook itself (say 8 inch max) and then pull off all the line ABOVE the float? Surely that means you’d have to slide the shot back up the line anyway, once you’ve found depth? Or do you just slide float all the way back up the line you pulled off and leave all the shot where you set it on the rigmate? Seems like a big gap between float and shot.
Great stuff and easy to follow but when I get to the bank and tie my hook length on and bait up they are always too heavy shotted! Yes, I know I should simply put one less shot on but corn weighs more than maggot which weighs less than meat which weighs less that worm....cant you invent a magic float that just works with everything regardless of how many shots go on it :)
The answer is in the video he doesn't exactly shot the float shot it till there is 5 mm left of the black body with the weight of the hook and the hook bait it will be roughly okay also you can use a 2-liter cola bottle filled with water get some line rig it shot it put it in the bottle and she how the float sits in the water
Nice video joe this is not for me been making my pole rigs for years no problem i just use marks on the edge of my table for my shot job done,i remember the GIZMO PRO HOOK TYER everyone saying how good they was dennis vause sold GIZMO ANGLING along with what i always thought was well over priced i tie all my own hook lengths don't need £150.00 machine i was surprised Des shipp bought the GIZMO PRO HOOK TYER,para
Looks like something else to make money out of anglers, making rigs is easy enough without spending a load of money on this. Don’t think I’ll be buying one.

have one about one year now. Cant miss this peace off kit. Greets from Belgium m8.
Love it. More from the tackle room please
Nice video just ordered one. I guess these shot pilers were an early proto type?
If your thinking about using pliers to put your shot on your line, type in mini long nose pliers on e bay
Presumably you tie your hook length on at the bank? What length would you use?
Great video. Thanks
been doing that pull the line through for years, saves no end of time

Seems great product but is there anyway of not measuring the line to say 3 or 4m if using whip etc
I’d just make a mental note of how many ‘arm widths’ the whip was and measure the line off in the same way 👍🏻
Great video.
Where can I get one please
daft question ive bought some rigs but they are 5m what do I do with the extra length?
Great video Joe. Never thought about having a tiny gap where the bulk is.
Just seems to help the bulk sit straighter on the line
Richie watching your video on a pole rig where did you purchase your we looking for some I am a pleasure fisherman's and rig board
They look very well designed, but I use a length of with MDF pre-primed white cladding about 5”

Could you send me a pic? That sounds like a good idea and I'm a newbie

Brilliant video. Great product placement with the new MCM-B 10 and 12's :-)
Oh you mean the 10s and 8s 🤭
for rig length i use the count of winds on those exact 18cm winders.
3 total winds per meter!!!!
bought myself one of these rigmate pros and must say really pleased with its quality of build , and as joe says in vid so helpful having the mono pulled taught.
Really are a great product
Where can I get a rigmate pro
Rigmate Pro shop
If you Google rigmate they have a nice website 👍
What happens if you want shot strung out through a 5ft rig? How do you know how much you’re pulling off?
Great video interesting product will be having a look on line for that. What pliers were ya using mucca
I think they are rive ones
Type in mini long nose pliers on e bay

He's just having a Christmas break
@@MatchFishingFilms thank you very much joe
Hi Joe. What are they selling for and where?
If you search for rigmate on google it will be there 👍
I’m probably being dim, but if you’re wanting to fish at, say 4 foot depth, how come you set all your shots up exactly how you want them, but starting on the loop to the hook itself (say 8 inch max) and then pull off all the line ABOVE the float?

Or do you just slide float all the way back up the line you pulled off and leave all the shot where you set it on the rigmate? Seems like a big gap between float and shot.
I made my own using a 2ft plank of wood and some nails marked out every 6 inch,made rig making much quicker
i want 1 but here in belgium dont know ???
www.rigmate.co.uk
@@MatchFishingFilms all good ordered it and delivered on 19/03/2021 so happy now.greets from belgium.

Ridiculous price have a look at Matty Dawes video were he uses a plank of wood 👍
Does the same job of course. But when you see one of these up close you cant really knock the price.

Why don't they just mark the floats with the weight instead of 4x18. 4x14. etc. There are no 18 shot available!!!So confusing.
A 4x18 float is about .75g in weight 4x16 is .5g, 4x14 is .4g and 4x12 is .3g
4 x 12 = 0.25g (No.12 styl = 0.064g)
Ref. hardyonline.co.uk/shotting-calculator-v2.html
I would say that is left-handed!!. I'm right handed and tie my rigs the opposite way round!!.
Funnily enough so did I! But I got used to it 👍
I use a spare top kit Joe
Is that the start of a Rob W bald patch appearing?😂
No my hair is just greasy 😂😂😂
Joe have you rejoined Hollowell ressy?
Not yet:(
Hi Joe great demo so good I've bought one.
is that 666 on your scalp ?
£65.95 at least Dick Turpin wore a mask !!!

A lot of waffle. And just another gimmick
