Ian Russell’s Ronnie Rig – How to tie it

The ideal rig when looking for a low-lying pop-up presentation with unrivalled hooking potential.

Without a doubt, the Ronnie Rig has become the ‘must use’ rig of recent years and with good reason. Comprising of either a stiff or semi-stiff boom, it presents perfectly every time, is tangle free and will re-set itself if picked-up by birds or nuisance species. Fished with either a pop-up or wafter, the high success rate of this rig is due to its incredible responsiveness. Plus, as the hook is mounted in a swivel, it offers superb hookbait movement, which even the wariest of carp struggle to deal with.

“I’ve been using this rig almost  entirely since receiving my first pack of Medium Curve Razor Point hooks  – and I can’t see myself changing in the near future. The hooks themselves are the sharpest hooks ‘straight from a packet’ I have ever used. As the rig sits so low to the lake bed,  I believe it’s not treated with suspicion, it’s hooking potential is incredible”. Ian Russell
