An Introduction to Glued Rigs

1. An Introduction to Glued Rigs A step by step guide to making professional looking rig bodies using the Rig Glue and Glue Tube system Christchurch Angling Centre www.seamatchfishing.co.uk

2. Equipment you will need For this exercise you will need the following items: • Scissors • Rig Glue • Line Rest • Glue Tubing (Here we use 0.5 Tube) • Line (Here we use 0.5mm Line) • Two Beads • A Swivel

3. Step 1 Using Sharp scissors cut two small pieces of tubing to the desired length. For this demonstration we use 4mm length pieces.

4. Step 2 Now thread your components onto the line, in the same order you would a crimp rig. Tube, Bead, Swivel, Bead and Tube.

5. Step 3 Now place your rig onto the Line Rest so the components are in between the blue line holders.

6. Step 4 Slide all the components to one side of the Line Rest. Carefully squeeze out a SMALL drop of glue and dab it onto the line. You may wish to use a cocktail stick to apply the glue.

7. Step 5 Slide the first bit of tubing up to and over the drop of glue. Try and do this in a slow and positive motion. The glue will draw into the tube and should fill the tube completely.

8. Step 6 Repeat the process for the other side.

9. Step 7 The finished product. Once mastered, it is easy to do three lots on one jig in very little time!
