TAA Workshop
Where Craft Meets Community
The TAA Workshop is our commitment to the wider UK fishing community. We believe the best rigs come from collaboration, shared knowledge, and respect for the craft. This is where skilled rig makers and passionate anglers come together to create something exceptional.
Built on Collaboration
At TAA, we don’t believe in doing everything alone. The Workshop is our way of opening the door to talented rig makers who share our passion for UK fishing.
Through our Rig Supply Programme, we collaborate with skilled craftspeople who meet our exacting standards. This isn’t about mass production or chasing volume. It’s about small-batch, hand-finished rigs that reflect the care and precision we demand from ourselves.
Every rig that carries the TAA name is tied by experienced hands, tested in real UK waters, and built to perform when it matters most.
Key Workshop Values
- Community-Driven: Built with anglers, for anglers
- Quality First: Every rig meets TAA’s exacting standards
- Fair Collaboration: Proper compensation and recognition for skilled work
- Authentic Craft: Hand-tied, field-tested, trusted by real anglers
Workshop Initiatives

Supply premium, hand-tied rigs for the UK’s most discerning anglers. Fair compensation, flexible commitment, and collaboration with a craft-focused brand.
Collaborative Rig Development
Work with the TAA team and other Workshop members on prototype rigs for specific species, venues, or conditions. Your expertise shapes future CRX designs.
Testing Days & Events
Exclusive testing sessions at UK venues where Workshop members can trial new rig designs, share feedback, and connect with the TAA team and fellow makers.
Knowledge Sharing

What’s Coming Next
The TAA Workshop isn’t just about supplying rigs today. It’s about building a community of rig makers who care about quality, craft, and the future of UK fishing tackle.
As the Workshop continues to evolve, our focus will extend beyond the bench. Future initiatives are envisioned to encourage collaboration, shared learning, and hands-on refinement of rig-making techniques. These may include small-scale collaborative rig development sessions, carefully selected testing days at iconic UK fishing venues, and knowledge-sharing spaces where experienced makers can showcase their methods while learning from others.
Each step forward will be guided by the same principles that define the Workshop today: patience, precision, and respect for the craft. Nothing will be rushed. New activities will be introduced only when they meet our standards and add genuine value to the rig-making community.
