Gardner Tackle Ronnie Rigs

Each pack of ready made Ronnie Rigs includes three perfectly constructed ‘hook sections’ that have been constructed to exacting standards here in the UK making this rig available to everyone!

These Ronnie Rigs use Gardner's exquisitely sharp size 4 and size 6 Covert Dark Mugga hooks attached to the dedicated XT Flexi-Ring Kwik Lok Swivel. Essentially, the combination of the Mugga hook’s in-turned eye, swept shank and amazing razor sharp point is particularly effective in getting the most out of these rigs, as it creates a fast and aggressive reacting hooking mechanism that takes a firm hook hold. Each end section features a matt finished sliding Covert Hook Swivel, held in position with a Covert Hook Stop.

This phenomenal rig has been tried, tested and proven time and time again on big carp waters across the UK and Europe with truly devastating results!

To get started, all you need to do is tie your favoured hook link material onto the Flexi-Ring, tailoring the hook link length and material to the nature of the lake bed you’re fishing over and the lead arrangement that you are using. As a rough guide Gardner recommend monofilaments like their hugely successful Trick-Link and Invisi-Link for Helicopter rigs, and softer hook links like the awesome Ultra Skin on Covert Lead Clip (or similar) arrangements.

Finally, all you need to do is tie on a pop-up that is buoyant enough to hold the rig section up. You should add a small amount of Tungsten Putty moulded around the shrink tubing, that holds the XT Swivel in place, so the rig sinks slowly to the lake bed. If the hook bait is not buoyant enough the hook will not be able to rotate freely and this will detract from the rigs ultimate performance.

Gardner Tackle consultants generally prefer to use and recommend a small pop-up. The easiest way to attach ready-made pop-ups is to thread a section of main line or dental floss onto the hook swivel and pull the two tags through the bait. Pull the dental floss through the bait whilst pushing the pop-up onto the Covert Hook Swivel eye (which helps keep it in place). Finally, tie a number of granny knots flush to the outside of the hook bait, trim the floss to 1cm and blob the tag ends to secure the hook bait firmly in place.

Available in barbed sizes 4 or 6. 3 per packet.
