FAQ - Rigging Kits

1. What is included in a rigging kit?

Most kits include key hardware and tools like sleeves, snaps, and rigging tools. The planer bridle rigging kit is a good example of a ready to run bundle.

2. Are rigging kits good for beginners?

Yes. They save time and ensure you have the right parts in one place. Pair a kit with our crimping guide and you are set.

3. Do kits include crimp sleeves?

Many do, but check the product page. If you need extra, grab crimp sleeves to match your leader size.

4. Can I use a kit for trolling spreads?

Yes. Kits like the planer bridle rigging kit are built for trolling setups.

5. Should I keep a rigging kit on the boat?

Always. A backup kit keeps you fishing when a rig breaks or a leader gets cut.

6. What else do I need with a rigging kit?

Add line, hooks, and a crimper if the kit is hardware only. Check crimpers if you need a tool.

How to Choose a Rigging Kit

Start with the job. If you are building planer and trolling rigs, a kit like the planer bridle rigging kit gives you the hardware you use most. For general leader building, choose a kit that includes sleeves, snaps, and basic tools.

Check for the essentials. The best kits include hardware you burn through - sleeves, swivels, and snaps - plus a few tools to speed the build. If a kit is light on sleeves, add a pack from crimp sleeves.

Decide on tool coverage. Some kits are hardware only. If you are missing a crimper or cutters, add a proper tool from crimpers and a good set of cutters from rigging tools.

Keep a backup onboard. A second kit lives in the boat bag for fast fixes. When a leader gets nicked or a snap fails, you rebuild and stay in the water.
