The MagMat is one of those bits of kit you don’t think you need until you use it. Designed with rig making in mind, it gives you a clean, solid surface that keeps everything exactly where it should be, no swivels rolling off, and no second guessing your rig lengths.

If you are tying up multiple rigs at once, you can count out all the components you need and have everything all in one tidy place not only on the bank but for those who like to prep from home from a comfortable desk or workstation.

Made from a tough, washable rubber, the mat is flexible but firm enough to use on your lap, a bivvy table or the top of a carryall. Four magnets are embedded into the mat, spaced to give you a secure holding point for hooks, swivels and baiting tools while you’re working. No searching, no lost bits. Just put it down and it stays put.

There’s a built-in measuring scale running across the top edge, so you can get rigs bang on without needing to grab a separate ruler from inside your tackle box or tackle safe. A simple detail, but one that saves time and cuts out errors and guesswork.

The surface is split into sections to help organise bits of tackle as you go – you’re not just dumping everything into one space. It keeps the process tidy, especially when you’re tying a few rigs in a row or prepping for a longer session.

It rolls up easily and wipes clean, so it’s no effort to pack away and it won’t hold on to any bait residue or grit. At 45cm by 25cm, it fits most bivvy tables but is still small enough to stash in your carryall without a rethink of your kit layout.

If you’re the type of angler who likes a tidy setup and wants to take the faff out of rig prep, the MagMat is a solid addition to the kit. Practical, simple and built to last.
