Another decent watch as always - Always room for improvement mate, you never stop learning in carp fishing 👌🏻

Hi bud. To make better use a large korda kicker instead of shrink tube. That way when you need to change the hook you can just crush the barb and take everything off without having to tie a new boom section. Also saves you money on shrink tube because if you crush the barb when changing the hook the kicker and the bead doesn't become damaged when you take it off.

Thanks, Simon. Great video as always 👍🏼

Really useful advise and tips as usual. Great video Simon.

Another great video 👍

Always been a skeptic of the ronnie due to it being a trendy rig and tried to be different and not use it but with your adaptations I think I may give it a go as the mechanics look solid now! Excellent video mate😁

Good stuff simon a nice little tips video never goes wrong cheers and tight lines

Thank you Another clear and good video. Regards Han

excellent video ! many thanks

great film work as usual Simon

Enjoyed that mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the tips, I differently make the last (5th) mistake because never put putty but I am using stiff material instead..great video

Simon new subscriber and returning to fishing. Trying to catch up on new techniques through YT. Just to say you made this so clear as a pose to so many I have watched. Thank you.

Great video some good points there 👍

I use krank hooks now with ronnies works a treat. Tight lines mate

Very nice work my friend 🤠👌🎣🙋‍♂️

Thank you

Hi Simon...another great video...............Another mistake i commonly see is people make up his rig and put the slight curve in the shrink tube, as you have explained. then they attach the Boom section and store it on a rig board with the rig pulled tight. When you come to use the rig the curve in the shrink tube is pulled straight!!! i always make the hook section of the rig up, and always add the boom i require on the bank. I just cover the point of the hook with a small piece of foam andIi have loads of these hooks sections made up in a pot i carry in my tackle box

Hi Simon I saw you added the putty close to the lead section for the semi stiff. Would you also add this if you were using a stiff boom section?

Good insight mate! didn't really use a blob of putty in the middle of the boom section as I was using 25lbs coated braid but I will now! Topman tight lines 👍

Good informative video agen mate, cant wait for the anti tangle one, as i would get tangled using steel rope😆

Hi Simon some good tips..Will try a bit more curve s/tubing on swivel, also putty on my ESP hook link never had to put it on Boom/Rigidity.. Look forward to your next vlog mate till then stay safe/well.........LC

Hi good tip's, those small tweeks make a big difference. I set my rig up exactly like yours but I use the nash gyro hook/swivel. I've just subscribed I'm looking forward to your next video

What are your thoughts Simon on the shrink tube being shrunk down on the barrel of the swivel slightly?

awsome video, thank you!! just a question, would you recommend using a solid PVA pag with this rig if so what sort of length do you make the rig?

Love your video. Love the multi Brands of tackle. Quick question, what weight of lead do you find the most effective? Keep the great videos coming and tight lines

Hi Simon, great video. Im just thinking, could the rig be further improve by using a loop into the swivel, and also use foam on the hook to make sure the line lays nicely away from the lead.

Great video on tip to improving the Ronnie/Spinner Rig favour a bottom bait or a SlipD Rig over a Ronnie Rig as it's widely used at the moment a bit like the Chod rig about 10 year's ago

Simon is that braid all stripped off, or is it that supple. It looks like plain braid to my eyes? Thanks excellent.

I only use flexible material for the boom section if I’m fishing over a very uneven bottom as it won’t reset if it gets moved by feeding fish or bird life- I prefer a stiff material to reset when using a Ronnie. If you don’t feather it or fish to a clip it could lie badly - great info for new carp anglers👍

Interesting stuff! I've just bought some ready tied rigs to start off and then build my own later... those rigs have stiff fluorocarbon hooklinks.. the only difference compared to yours is the blob of putty in the middle of the hooklink, do you think it would need it that on a stiff fluorocarbon hooklink??

I've never used a ronnie rig because I'm so confident in the multi rig its served me well. In your honest opinion simon what is your go to pop up for singles during the colder months. I apologise in advance if this has been covered as I'm new to your channel

👍got some nice size 2 curves made up as ronnie sectionswhst size bait pop up would you use with this size?was thinking a 15 -16ml .

Do you strip the braid then tie to swivel or do you use the coated braid all the way threw

Can you use this rig with a size 10 hook realistically if that is the max size the venue allows?

Good vid Simon even better with a wide gape hook

🔥

Simon I’m going France next month would you recommend the Ronnie rig or the one you use regularly?

I know this is an old(er) video so might be too late for a reply.... But can you see any problems using a bait screw instead of floss on a micro swivel? Cheers

Great video thank you, do you have 100%confidence in bait staying on just blobbing without a boilie stop?

How would u use this with an inline rig in a pva bag.. ive caught fish with a ronnie rig (inline pva bag)but if what u say about the distance between the laed an the rig is true, then i might be doing it wrong..

I always snip off the pointy end of the swivel with a pair of snips. The tubing will always keep the hook on. The rig is is more streamline.

can you use size 6 CURVE Shank for this rig

I’ve noticed some people have the shrink tube over the barrel, some don’t. What’s your thoughts ?

Great video Simon thanks. I have a few questions now, one of my fishing lakes only allows up to a size 8 so I have only just made a Ronnie Rig so should I just carry on with my Combie rig or D rig? I also us a bait screw instead shouldn’t I use a bait screw? Thanks for the video again mate.

Well done mate I don't see the point in using shrink tube cuz once you have done that you can't change the hook quickly I just use a small piece of tubing then you can take it off easily 😊👍

Should do a how to spod and cast rigs on that spot accurately

Make video about hook,which you prefer; tipe and size.

I’m not convinced by the hook bead position. I’ve been trying the ronnie for a number of sessions now and I’ve never had so many beeps and no takes on any other rig! Today when I got home to test the failed rig I noticed that the particular pop up I used wasn’t buoyant enough to lift the hook to an almost vertical position (with the hook bead opposite barb as adviced) and concluded that with the hook then being positioned horizontal, it was much easier to eject. Moving the bead around gave the pop up far more leverage to stand the hook up properly, and I cannot see how that position leaves more chance of blow out than the horizontal. I mean how on earth can it? The only problem I see with a hook being vertical is that it may alarm the fish earlier on the suck in stage and praps cause an earlier blow back than if it had glided in easier on a more horizontal position. However being horizontal also helps the carp to blow it out without the prick touching the lip. So it’s catch 22 really. Maybe something in between is ideal, so the positioning of the bead would depend entirely on the level of buoyancy from the pop up.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but another mistake is to push the pop up too far onto the swivel, if your bait is out there for some time, it can swell, press against the ring on the hook and stop the swivel from rotating. It may or may not make a difference, but everything you can put in your favour improves your chances!

Krank hooks and korda kickers for me, as already said in comments crush the barb once hook is blunt n take it all off and re use everything, never lost a fish on the kranks. Everyone has there preference I suppose, great video though very informative

Prefer it with a wide gape with an in-turned eye myself, sits very aggressively.I tie to the swivel ring with an overhand knot leaving a loop sits much better.The korda spinner swivels are much neater.

How do you dispose of old fishing hooks?

Great video mate, I've heard if your using a wafter or bottom bait with this rig then you shouldn't use a ring swivel, any truth in this pal?

What about size of hook

My hook is laying flat on the bottom and not raising with my pop up whys that mate

👌👍👍

I get concerned that the hook end of the quick change swivel, will get caught in the net when landing a fish...

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

You don’t need the putty in the middle if you are using a fluorocarbon line

The original ronnie was tied like a slip D rig.

Hi could you help me please

I quick tip on how to fix them. Don't use them, use the original 360 Rig and get rid of all of the shrink tube. Its totally unnecessary. TT.

Who’s Ronnie?

So it's a chod/Ronnie rig

Like watching paint dry

Spinner rig lol. Not a Ronnie. Can't watch anymore. Kamakura Ronnie's all u need.
