Rite Tackle: What exactly are its products?

An inventor and angling enthusiast is third to enter the Dragons’ Den tonight.

Rite Tackle was founded by British match angler and inventor John Jones.

The startup is dedicated to manufacturing innovative, intuitive fishing products that solve the everyday challenges anglers face.

“Having fished all my life and having a engineering background I have always made items of tackle – normally driven by looking for solutions to problems or looking to improve on what was currently available,” said John.

“I have enjoyed watching the revolution of products that have been manufactured to ensure huge bags of fish are caught from the numerous purpose-built commercial fisheries across the country.

“All of these products focus on catching fish – but not on what happens when it’s in the net.”

Rite Tackle provides practical bankside innovations for anglers, highlighted by the Rite Weigh scale integrated into a landing net handle and the floating Rite-Count mechanical counter for match limits.

Additional gear includes Squaddies foam attachments for pole stability, Super Rooster and Omni Tube rod rests, and the heavy-duty Premium Tackle Transporter trolley.

Box Adaptor Kit – £20

The Rite-Tackle Premium Transporter Box Adaptor Kit allows you to customise your transporter to securely accommodate seat boxes from all major manufacturers.

The kit includes a length of tubing that can be cut to suit the exact height of your seat box, ensuring a precise and secure fit. Adjustable side clamps securely enclose the footplate, keeping your seat box firmly in position during transport.

Omni Tube – £27.50

The Rite-Tackle Omni Tube is a versatile, precision-engineered accessory designed to give anglers maximum flexibility on the bank. Manufactured from high-quality Anodised Aluminium tube, it features a robust 360° locking bracket that provides a secure, self-supporting mounting system for a wide range of fishing setups.

Designed for complete adaptability, the Omni Tube can be used as either a Rod Rest or a Roost, making it an essential addition for both match and pleasure anglers. The fully adjustable locking bracket allows you to position your Rod exactly where you need it, ensuring stability and convenience throughout your session.
Compatible with seat box legs, side trays, and fishing chairs, the Omni Tube offers a strong, reliable fit while remaining lightweight and durable enough to withstand regular use in all fishing conditions.

Whether you’re building the perfect match fishing setup or looking for a practical solution for pleasure fishing, the Rite-Tackle Omni Tube delivers strength, versatility, and reliability in one innovative product.

Platform Conversion Kit – £40

The Rite-Tackle Premium Transporter Platform Kit allows you to quickly and easily convert your transporter into a stable fishing platform.

Perfect for those occasions when you draw that awkward peg that requires you to fish from the water. The platform simply bolts directly onto the transporter frame using an Allen key, giving you a secure and stable setup when you need it.

The Platform Conversion kit has been engineered to take a maximum combined weight of 120kg.

Anglers must make sure their legs are evenly spaced, platform is level & locking brackets firmly secured.

Premium Tackle Transporter – £245 (reduced from £295)

For extreme distances, steep gradients or exceptionally heavy loads, powered transporters certainly have their place. But for many fishing situations, adding motors, batteries and additional weight isn’t necessarily the answer.

The Rite-Tackle Premium Fishing Tackle Transporter takes a different approach: reduce the effort through better engineering.

Large wheels, a wide stable footprint, proper steering, a balanced flat load bed and a design intended to be pulled all work together to make moving your tackle easier – without the additional weight and complexity of a powered system.

Rite Count – £9.95

The Rite-Count is a must-have tool for serious match anglers who need to stay on top of weight limits during competitive sessions on commercial fisheries. Designed to keep accurate track of the weight of fish in each keepnet, the Rite-Count ensures you stay within competition rules and avoid costly disqualifications.

Crafted from durable, corrosion-proof plastic, the Rite-Count is built to withstand the rigours of wet, muddy, and fast-paced fishing environments. It floats too—so even if it’s dropped in the water, it won’t be lost.

Operation is simple and efficient: with a single rotating knob, you can quickly advance the 10’s dial, allowing for easy updates as you add more fish to the net. No fiddly buttons, no batteries—just straightforward, reliable functionality.

Once a keepnet reaches its weight limit, use the built-in spring clip to attach the Rite-Count directly to the net. This provides a clear visual cue that the net is full, helping prevent accidental overfilling or re-use.

Whether you’re fishing under pressure or just want to stay organised, the Rite-Count is your reliable, no-nonsense solution for keeping every pound accounted for.

Rite Weigh – £28.50

The Rite-Weigh is the ultimate in convenience and accuracy for anglers who take their catch seriously. Designed to attach neatly between your landing net and pole, this clever scale lets you weigh fish directly in the net — no extra handling required.

Available in three precision-calibrated versions:

0–19lb (½ lb graduations) – Ideal for match anglers, helping you stay within strict net limits.
0–9lb (2oz graduations) – Perfect for silver fish anglers who demand finer accuracy.
Kilogram version – Tailored for anglers outside the UK who prefer metric readings.

Crafted from lightweight aluminium tubing with durable brass threads, the Rite-Weigh weighs less than 6 ounces, ensuring it won’t affect the balance of your setup.

With over 8,000 units sold across the UK and mainland Europe, the Rite-Weigh has earned a reputation for reliability, precision, and ease of use — making it a must-have tool in every angler’s kit.

Squaddies – £15

Make long sessions more secure, comfortable, and controlled with Squaddies – the innovative square-to-round adaptor designed specifically for fishing pole butt sections. Precision-cut and built to last, the Squaddies is a simple yet effective solution that transforms your fishing experience.
