Preston Innovation Rig Station **Review** 

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

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

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

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 👍

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

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

Great TShirt John

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.

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.

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.

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 😮

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

what is the distance between the rig pegs Please

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

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

£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,🤨

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.

the bolts are for for your line spools.

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 😡

Use a washer for spools john

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

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

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 😅

Not bothered two nails in wood just same

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
