Matt Godfrey climbs on to a platform and barrow system that has caught his eye this month, the Rigger Plus!
When this arrived in the office, I immediately set it up. I have actually seen plenty of these Rigger barrows and platforms out on the bank, but never given one a close inspection. The actual platform is fully capable of carrying all sizes of seatbox. I personally have a Rive Seatbox, one of the biggest on the market when fully opened up, and this sits on the Rigger Plus with ease.

As match anglers we are always looking for an edge, something to give us those extra few per cent between being an also-ran and getting results.
