FAQs
Why Rig Mate?
We were sick of spending hours tying knots or throwing big money away at tackle shops for pre-made rigs and knew there had to be an easier way. Every angler knows the knot is the most important part of setting up a rig. It has the most pressure strung upon it and has to stand up to the challenge when a fish takes the bait.
Fluorocarbon or original – which should I buy?
Both give you the same Rig Mate pre-tied loops – the difference is the line. The original copolymer is the all-rounder: it works in any water, with longer loops, wider spacing and strengths right up to 100 lb. Fluorocarbon is the clear-water specialist: ultra low-vis, with slightly shorter loops spaced closer together for compact rigs (6–40 lb). Plenty of anglers keep a spool of each.
What is the distance between loops?
Fluorocarbon
06 - 15 lb = 30 cm / 12 inches
20 - 40 lb = 40 cm / 15.5 inches
Original
06 - 10 lb = 35 cm / 14 inches
20 - 100 lb = 47 cm / 18 inches
All measurements are +/- 10%.
Do I need to tie any knots with Rig Mate?
Nope – the loops are all pre-tied and it’s as simple as cut your desired amount of loops, attach your tackle and catch fish. We even recommend using one loop to attach to a clip swivel so your rig is completely pre-tied!
How many rigs can I get from one spool?
It all depends how you set up your rig and what size spool you purchase. However, the following table is a helpful guide with the most common set-up:
| Line Size | Number of Knots | Rig Set-up | Total Rigs per Spool |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06 - 10 lb | 100 | 3 or 4 loop rig | 25 - 33 |
| 15 - 40 lb | 80 | 3 or 4 loop rig | 20 - 26 |
Can I use different hooks or accessories with Rig Mate?
Yes! You can customise your rigs however you like – swap in different hooks, add lumo beads, squid skirts, or change your sinkers quickly depending on the conditions.
Can I use Rig Mate in freshwater and saltwater?
Rig Mate is versatile. It’s ideal for bottom fishing – offshore, inshore, from the beach, jetty, or rocks. Lighter weights (6-20 lb) are great for smaller freshwater species, whilst most anglers will opt for 40 lb+ offshore. Check out our post on how to choose the right line strength for a detailed breakdown.
Can I use metal lures, live bait or soft plastics with Rig Mate?
You can. Some anglers swap the sinker for a weighted soft plastic, jighead, or even use assist hooks and lumo skirts. It’s a custom rig builder’s dream.
