A very effective carp catching rig, the Ronnie Rig has taken the carp fishing world by storm in the last couple of years. This rig has become one of the best rigs for catching carp. The Ronnie rig is essentially a low lying pop up rig, the bait sits up just off the lake bed maintaining its aggressive hooking position at all times. Before we show you the steps to tying a ronnie fishing rig, there are a few items you may need to add to your shopping basket to make this amazing rig. What Do I Need To Tie A Ronnie Rig?

krimps with 25lb Boom fluocarbon, they all snapped when I put pressure on them with the knot puller, are they really that crappy or do I have a bad batch? The main benefit of the Extra Soft IQ2 is the way it responds to bait in the water. A standard IQ holds the bait in a relatively fixed position whereas the Extra Soft IQ allows the bait to move more ‘naturally’ in the water. Steve believes that this more natural movement actually allows the hook to enter the mouth of the carp easier and with more consistency than stiffer held bait. This in turn reduces the number of ‘false takes’ Steve has experienced, exponentially increasing his overall catch rate! The softer IQ also reduces the risk of hook pulls when on a 10lb or 12lb line with a smaller hook. This is because the hooklink allows the bait to enter the mouth of the carp fully, improving the depth at which the hook is set, even when you’re fishing with a smaller hook, and reducing the risk of unfortunate hook pulls. Have fished last year with only Korda booms and loops no problem at all, not a single snapped, so very satisfied with Korda's booms/loops. I still think amnesia is the best stuff going for anything stiff. I use 20lb for D rigs and 25lb for hinge booms.I reverted to a figure of 8 knot which seems very strong and with a bit of practice you can easily make the loops as small as you need. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit.

The IQ2 Extra Soft Fluorocarbon Hooklink from Kordais the ideal solution for those anglers’ who find the original IQ hookink too stiff for their needs. Whilst a soft IQ hooklink is definitely not the norm, this innovative extra soft variant on a classic does offer up a whole host of additional possibilities when it comes to carp fishing– particularly when you’re fishing with breaking strains on the lighter end of the spectrum or when you’re fishing with smaller hooks and baits. Bait Screw – Bait Screws used are 12mm in length and are anti glare to allow perfect presentation of your chosen hookbait with more natural movement. Bait screws are becoming ever more popular due to the ease of use but also providing excellent presentation.The XT snag leader is a lovely soft but stiff enough material and is a nice green colour that will go well on the waters I fish (weedy) Step 1: Cut required length of IQ2 fluorocarbon then attach the spinner swivel using a small figure of eight loop. I stopped using IQ2 a few years ago when I started to worry about knot strength. Was ok to start with and then the next three spools bought at different times all caused me concern.

I stand corrected,why does it say not to use crimps with fluorocarbon if boom is a fluoro.I have been using boom and crimps and had no issues at all though I also like amnesia in 20lb clear and have used it for years for hook lengths and combi rigs again straightens very easily just by pulling, its funny you mention the think link i thought that was awful very hard to straighten without steam and would partly lose its shape after a while in the water, unless i had a bad spool

I use it for combi-rigs to Merlin as a boom section, for mono hooklinks and as the material for D rigs. Also, what knots would people advise to use on this material? I have been using a palomar on the IQ2 with no issues You’re pulling far harder than any fishing scenario is going to provide, I wouldn’t worry about it, I tend to jerk pull test them if it’s going to fail then that’s how you’ll know

Step 3: Slide a small piece of shrink tube onto the shank of the hook, attach the hook to the spinner swivel, slide the shrink tube over the swivel and carefully heat with the lighter. I gonne give Gemini a try not that 19lb breakpoint on Korda boom is bad but my own hand made rigs/loops are stronger that what Korda sells... Consumer credit service provided by Klarna.

It straightens out with a pull, is very good on abrasion (was made as a sea fishing leader) and a spool lasts about 5 years!
