The Ronnie rig seems to be bringing a whole host of new fancy gizmos and rig bits to the market place with most manufacturers jumping on the rigs popularity and success.
Out of most new Ronnie gizmos I think this one may be one of the better ones. the Ronnie rig is all about speed, not just in the way it reacts in a Carps mouth but also on the bank for the angler. It is designed so you can quickly change a hook out for a sharper or different size. But what if it was also easy to change over your hooklink section with pre-tied ready to go variations? And also change the counterbalance weight for different size pop ups?
this is where the new Ronnie Clips from E-S-P come into play making the Ronnie rig a truly versatile speed rig!
In this blog I will show you how to use the clips and also make a deadly Ronnie rig using the new E-S-P components.
On the other end you are going to attach the new Ronnie Clip. I have gone for the larger size weight for 15mm pop-ups. It has two components; the tungsten weight and the clip.
Start by threading on the tungsten weight narrow end first.
Then attach the clip with your favourite knot. In this case it is a 3 turn grinner knot.
Now for the hook; And I do not think there are many better hook for the Ronnie than the new E-S-P Trig-Hammers with their long sweeping shank leading to a needle sharp point.
Cut 2mm off the thick end of a Line Aligner and thread it onto the hook, thick end first.
Attach one of the new Ronnie Swivels to the eye of the hook and slide the Line Aligner down over it.
Now slide on a Bait Screw (or a Micro Ring Swivel if your prefer). Followed by a Grip Stop.
The hook-end is now finished.
To attach your rig to your boom simply clip the swivel onto the Ronnie clip and slight the tungsten weight over it.
The finished rig ready to go with a Pink boosted Mulb pop-up.
Fishing small and light for predators can be hugely satisfying especially if the bites are hard to come across with bigger lures. Pair up this fishing style with an ultra lightweight rod and small 1000...
For me, using a baiting pole is a massive edge throughout the entire year. When the lake is busy, it can give you an advantage over other anglers in terms of perfect presentation and access...
Early Spring in my opinion is a great time to get out in hunt of some juicy Perch. They are more active, fishing is more fun and there are less lure anglers on the bank...
