How are people storingbr these to keep the nice bend in the chord section but the boom straight?
Is it a case of tying on the bank or steaming out the boom every time?
Cheers

Rig bins are good , then just add the boom section to Suit on the day. I also store the.mm in a normal rig wallet and the form them before casting or Steam before casting if needed.

Trakker have a rig case which have the large round section for the curved bit & straight section for the boom.

Use Amnesia for the booms which pulls perfectly straight without the need for steaming (and costs pence). If you want a coated alternative, Tungsten Loaded is brilliant. I used both extensively this Spring and didn't have to steam either at all.
Have a load of hook sections ready to go in any old tube and tie them on at the lake... it only takes 30 seconds to tie a blood knot

I've still got an mcf spring loaded tube I use for the boom section. must be some of them still around.
Have a look at the Trakker nxg Stiff Rig Pouch, I purchased one recently and found it excellent. Each side of the wallet has different size curves to keep the rigs natural shape. Not cheap but does the job, so a good investment. Post 3 link is the one I have

Haha that's what i did.
An old ovaltine plastic jar, pipe lagging cut to length so it fits in the jar and map pins to hold the rigs on.
Does the job.

I use a korda zig box, use 2 of the reels for zigs, one for leaders and the 4th for hinge stiff hooklinks. they curve perfectly around the foam reel, then when i need to i jist take one off and tie it to a pre tied boom.
