Custom tied live bait rigs

Since I switched from lure fishing / casting to live bait / still fishing a few years ago, my catches have more than tripled in both average sizes and numbers. Some of the areas that I fish only produce when using live bait.
My fishing rigs were designed for 2 reasons:
1) Convenience; avoiding having to tie rigs once I'm on the water saves valuable fishing time.
2) As my rigs are the connection between those trophy fish and myself, I make every attempt to ensure that they wont snap my line. Tying them under proper conditions in my workplace ensures proper knots, lengths, etc., as opposed to tying them in the wind, on a boat or other unfavorable conditions.
I recently decided to sell some of my best custom tied rigs online. They are ideal for any sport fisherman / angler that wants bring in trophy sized fish, but doesn't have the time, patience or components to tie them, as well as anyone wanting to have their rigs tied by someone well experienced with proven results, which you can view by clicking: http://freshwaterphil.com/pics.cfm

Freshwater Phil custom tied rigs come in a variety of sizes and weights, and can be used for most North American freshwater game fish / species. They are packaged for easy storage and re-use, and also come with detailed instructions for efficient use.
