THE Smith Creek Rig Keeper is a simple but cleverly designed rig system that allows fly fishers to carry a number of pre-rigged leader set-ups, which can be quickly changed during the course of a day’s fishing.
The Rig Keeper body is comprised of a piece of 5mm dense foam measuring about 110mm x 50mm which has eight ‘V’ notches indented along its two narrow edges, into and around which the leader rig is wound.
While the Rig Keeper has a wire loop for external attachment, the ribbing feature allows it to be stowed safely inside a pocket. All components are made from UV resistant materials.
The Rig Keeper can hold eight pre-rigged leaders and several flies which, on its own, would be enough for a days’ worth fishing for most fly fishers. It weighs a mere 25-grams “empty”.
