It’s easy and simple to tie so suits beginners and experts alike but also it catches carp plain and simple! I see a lot of pictures on social media of peoples attempts at Ronnie Rigs and whilst these will probably work, they can always be improved. Follow my 5 common mistakes and how to fix them and hopefully you can catch more carp with Ronnie Rigs!

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.
Cheers for that mate 👍
Another decent watch as always - Always room for improvement mate, you never stop learning in carp fishing 👌🏻
Thanks, Simon. Great video as always 👍🏼
Cheers mate much appreciated tight lines 👍
Really useful advise and tips as usual. Great video Simon.
Thanks mate much appreciated
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😁
Thanks for the tips, I differently make the last (5th) mistake because never put putty but I am using stiff material instead..great video
Cheers mate it makes a big difference 👌
great film work as usual Simon
Thanks mate really appreciate that 👌
Good stuff simon a nice little tips video never goes wrong cheers and tight lines
Thanks mate 👌
Thank you
Another clear and good video.
Regards Han
Thanks much appreciated tight lines 👍
Another great video 👍
excellent video ! many thanks
Cheers mate
Enjoyed that mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers fella 👌
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
Yes I've seen that too. It's important to keep rigs stored safely so they work as intended. 👌
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.
Thanks for your comment mate and good luck with your fishing this year 😊
Great video some good points there 👍
Thanks mate much appreciated tight lines 👍
Very nice work my friend 🤠👌🎣🙋♂️
Cheers mate much appreciated tight lines 👍
I use krank hooks now with ronnies works a treat. Tight lines mate
Cheers mate 👍
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 👍
Cheers mate it really does make all the difference 👌
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
Cheers fella 👍
Good informative video agen mate, cant wait for the anti tangle one, as i would get tangled using steel rope😆
Haha cheers mate. I think that video will be the next one hopefully so keep an eye out 👌
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
I must admit I prefer a bottom bait or wafter these days😉
Thank you
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
Cheers mate much appreciated 👍
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
Thanks mate I mostly use a 3oz for all round fishing or 4oz for a little more range 👌
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?
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👍
I like the idea of a supple boom. Especially in weed etc. Also I guess for silty bottoms the lead can sink in and the bait still presented 👌
Simon Dew Carp Fishing in silt I fish a helicopter set up with the bead pushed well up so the lead can bury - great content mate 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.
Hi mate the swivel has a loop already as it's a ring swivel. I don't think another loop is necessary and may cause tangles etc
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?
You could definitely use it in a solid bag. I would suggest using a supple braid boom rather than coated braid so it goes in the bag nicely. Maybe 5-6 inches is about right 👌
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.
Good idea 👍
Good vid Simon even better with a wide gape hook
The angling iron curves actually have a nice wide gape and compared to their anchor hooks which are wide gape, they're slightly wider 👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing never tried they hooks but they look sharp tho
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
my absolute go anywhere single hook bait rig would be a naked chop to be honest. It will present over most bottom substrate and is nice and subtle
Simon is that braid all stripped off, or is it that supple. It looks like plain braid to my eyes? Thanks excellent.
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 😊👍
Good idea mate 👌
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.
I'm the same, I prefer the wide gape hook pattern, I wouldn't mind trying it with the ridgemonkey rota swivel
Totally agree. Size 4 wide gape and a loop. I fish it with a boom made from Amnesia.
Forgotten material. Not hip. But I like it.
Fair play I might give that a go 👌
Korda spinner swivels are so much better and neater as already stated
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'd still add a bit mate yeah. It helps the rig lay down straight. Even stiff material has some flexibility
@@SimonDewCarpFishing Nice one cheers mate!
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!
Cheers for your comment and yes I agree it's definitely worth having room for the bait to expand 👍
Do you strip the braid then tie to swivel or do you use the coated braid all the way threw
Coated all the way mate 👌
🔥
👍👍
Can you use this rig with a size 10 hook realistically if that is the max size the venue allows?
Not really to be honest it wouldn't turn properly. You'd be better off with a withy pool rig or a multi rig 👍
👍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 .
Yeah something like 15mm will be perfect mate 👌
@@SimonDewCarpFishing cheers just feel going the big hook route is sometimes the way to go 👍
Make video about hook,which you prefer; tipe and size.
It's something I'm looking to do in the future. All the hook patterns explained and their uses 👍
Should do a how to spod and cast rigs on that spot accurately
Definitely on my list for future videos mate 👌
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
Fair play mate if you have confidence then stick with it 👌
Size 6 krank would be good enough? Using 15mm pop-ups.
Simon I’m going France next month would you recommend the Ronnie rig or the one you use regularly?
Hi mate I'd try a couple of things until you find what works every lake is different 👍
A Different rig on each rod always works best if you don’t know the water I’ve found, till you find the one that works best👌🏻
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..
Hi mate I wouldn't normally recommend using a pop up with a PVA bag to be honest. It obviously works for you but it's much better to use a wafter or bottom bait. One of the main reasons being the possibility of foul hooking the carp in the face as it will be feeding on the bottom on the contents of your bag and the pop up will be above.
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
Hi mate that should work fine. There's are many different versions of the Ronnie which all work it's definitely worth experimenting to find your preferred setup
I’ve noticed some people have the shrink tube over the barrel, some don’t. What’s your thoughts ?
I was wondering the same also, as I have tried both and found you get more movement off the barrel but whether this makes a difference who knows??? Simon enlighten us lol, also great video 👍
As long as the swivel can turn I think it doesn't really make a difference and its down to personal preference. 👍
can you use size 6 CURVE Shank for this rig
Yes absolutely but I've found a bigger hook is better 👍
Great video thank you, do you have 100%confidence in bait staying on just blobbing without a boilie stop?
Hi mate cheers and yes absolutely I've left them out over 24hrs with no problems 👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing even on a big cast they stay on or would you use a boilie stop at 70yards plus?
Looking at a boilie gun on you tube atm....looks interesting
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.
The solution is to use super buoyant pop ups mate. If yours aren't holding the hook up they aren't buoyant enough 👌
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.
Nothing wrong with bait screws mate I sometimes use them too. I think a Ronnie is best suited to large hooks and if you're catching on combi rigs then stick with them. 👍
Simon Dew Carp Fishing thanks Simon
You don’t need the putty in the middle if you are using a fluorocarbon line
It's personal preference really mate. I want to male sure the rig lays straight and flat away from the lead 👍
How do you dispose of old fishing hooks?
Generally just put them in the bin mate. Maybe we should recycle 🤔
👌👍👍
👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
👌👌
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?
I wouldn't use this rig for wafters and bottom baits personally as I prefer a blowback 👍
If you use it with a wafter or bottom bait you remove the putty. It becomes a turbo german rig. But I prefer a blow out rig or a simple hair rig.
What about size of hook
Mostly a super sharp size 4 I think any smaller and the gape is too small leading to more hook pulls 👍
I get concerned that the hook end of the quick change swivel, will get caught in the net when landing a fish...
If its covered in shrink tube there's no worries with that mate 👍
You don't get that trouble with this rig,like with the 360 rig
I get over this problem on the 360 by just steaming down a small piece of shrink tube over the eye of the hook. This prevents the 360 getting caught in your landing net, and prevents any damage to the fishes mouth.
@@SimonDewCarpFishing Ok cool! i always thought they were ok.. i use silicone kickers over the eye and link but i think the shrink tube is safer... I do get a bit paranoid about it now, as there is always someone saying they aren't safe! Some waters are banning, both the ronnie and 360.. anything with a swivel attached i believe! I will change mine to shrink tube after watching this though, despite never having an issue.. thanks my friend..
@@darrenfox1879 is it not pretty much the same other than shrink tube
My hook is laying flat on the bottom and not raising with my pop up whys that mate
What pop up and hook are you using mate?
@@SimonDewCarpFishing size 6 hook mate and normally a trimmed up pop up/wafter
The original ronnie was tied like a slip D rig.
I've seen it done that way too 👌
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.
Most people agree that the 360 rig causes mouth damage and is banned on a lot of waters 👍
Hi could you help me please
How can I help mate?
@@SimonDewCarpFishing or Ronnie rigs ok for weed
Who’s Ronnie?
So it's a chod/Ronnie rig
Just a Ronnie mate 🤔
Like watching paint dry
But slightly more educational right 😜
Spinner rig lol. Not a Ronnie. Can't watch anymore. Kamakura Ronnie's all u need.
Think only korda call it a spinner rig..
