Ronnie Rig How To Tie for Big Carp Fishing

[@BrianWingard]

The Ronnie Rig is a very effective carp rig for huge fish. In this video I show you how to tie the Ronnie Rig step by step and this will help you to catch some really big carp. Hit Subscribe for more carp rig videos. #ronnierig #twisterrig #carprigs #carprig #carpfishing

[@SaulPVP]

i have found out that putting the putty over the shrink tube is not very good it is better to tie your hooklink to it with a little hoop and put the putty over the hoop knot it is 10x better trust me :D also instead of shrink tube use a cut down anti tangle sleeve so if the hook needs changing you dont have to cut off the shrink tube you can just slide the sleeve up change hook slide back on .

[@davidgilbert6581]

Great rig the Ronnie rig, use it pretty much all the time with a 15mm pop-up and a size 6 hook. Best UK fish so far a 45lb 12oz Mirror from an East London Reservoir😁😁

[@BrianWingard]

Awesome! I love using it with pop ups as well

[@grahampugh9687]

Brian another gr8 video , been following you for years , so when i was researching this rig and how its made i seen your video and quickly clicked, just finished making my 1st attempt using spotted fin terminal tackle

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching!! Best of luck with the rig. I really need to make an update video. Since I made this one there are a ton of new products for these that make it a little neater and less bulky. Good luck fishing!

[@kevinwoolner954]

Ronnie rig is my favourite carp rig , caught a 21 and a 18 first time I used it , a good hooking mechanics

[@BrianWingard]

Awesome results! They certainly work really well. Thanks for watching.

[@Enpassantful]

Good one, here is a tip, you can use 2 or 3mm silicone tube instead of shrink tube, does the same job without the need for steam.

[@BrianWingard]

Great tip! Thanks for watching

[@crekkk]

Also allows you to change the hook quickly if you want to use a smaller/bigger hook or a different pattern. With the shrink tube you have to resteam it which can be annoying on the bank. Great tip!

[@Envy701]

Thanks for explaining how to do this rig setup.I will be trying this on a small lake heavy with big carp this weekend Fingers crossed 😀

[@BrianWingard]

How did you make out?

[@bobnudd]

This is a great rig on gravel as you can balance it so it sinks so slow and resets on a pick up thats been ejected allso sits on silt great , great vid pal thumbs up

[@BrianWingard]

I just started using it more and will try it on gravel. Thanks again for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

[@toprod9493]

Nice demo. I don't use the shrink tube on the QC hook swivel. I just use the putty. It keeps it less bulky near the hook eye.

[@dacyphaa]

Everyone complaining about the overall cost of the rig, it's nothing out of the ordinary, just simple end tackle that most carp fisherman will already have in their box. If you're more the type to get the rods out here and there, just stick to a simple bottom bait rig on instead. Carp fishing isn't known for being a cheap hobby!

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. Agreed people will complain but they can choose to fish how they want. I am not forcing anyone to use this. lol

[@rodsup3934]

Going to give this a go on the weekend.

[@BrianWingard]

How did you end up doing?

[@gregriley2978]

Great and clear video well done, we all know these guys are sponsored but get over it.

[@mikescott9410]

my friend John Barnes invented this rig it's real name is the JB rig and originally tied with a swivel instead of a quick change swivel... great videos you do by the way :)

Much appreciated. I like to offer various ideas so more anglers get into the sport. Thanks for watching!

[@redwhiteandblue2440]

Wow. Cool, but I prefer rigging on the less expensive and just as good method. * get your selected hook * tie unscented *dental* *floss* around the hook crook in a simple, slightly loose, double overhand knot * pull that through your pop up bait with a needle (a long sewing needle works hold putting the *eye* through *1st*, & pulling the floss back through. * take very thin solder wire for small electronics (0.028" or 0.030" dia.) to wrap a few wraps around the hook shank to weigh down, if needed. * tie on a short leader to a small drop shot, or directly inline with a small split shot on a wire. * fish. That works just as good and saves many steps and $$.

[@paullawrence8572]

Going to start tying my own now, you made that look so easy thank you!

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheAmericanDane]

The QC ring swivel, personally I prefer a smaller size 11 rather than an 8 and I’d do away with the second QC swivel on the hook link. Just tie the QC swivel that is attached to the hook straight onto an nicely rounded loop at the end of your hook link.

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. I think when I made the video the 11's were not out yet. I should redo the video because they have some new components that make the rig neater.

[@royboyll]

If you mold the putty round the swivle then pull the shrink tube. Then shrink it down it makes and that makes it impossible for the putty to come off on the cast or falling off in cold water 🎣🎣👍😉

[@ivanfojan8859]

Great video. Liked and subscribed :)

[@BrianWingard]

Thank you very much!

[@jackjenkins7980]

Use boom material or hybrid stiff, n trap won’t reset your your rig on ejection or from fish swirling the water, ntrap soft is to supple for a Ronnie rig or any other pop up rig

[@jamiesmith1948]

Hello Brian mate ..the presentation of this rig looks deadly and I can’t wait to start putting it in to my own fishing but just a question could you or have you got a video which shows you the knots you need to use to tie on your hook link to the swivel and the quick change end you connect to your main line ??

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching! Right now I do not have a video showing this. I usually just tell people to use whatever knot they are most confident in since everyone has their own preference.

[@richiejay4030]

do you have to use just korda products or will the fish know if you're not????

[@jack14kd]

Anything apart from nash I've been told

[@davvo1234]

its a good rig,ive tried it and it works with cc moore pop ups. but this does not work with mainline pop ups 14mm unless you strip off all the putty and scale down to a size 8 and even then its dodgy,but a good rig with cc moore pop ups. make sure to test in yr own fishtank before putting them out in the lake with any other pop up than cc moore

[@millwallfan06]

Thanks for the vid, can you do a vid on how to attach this to the rest of your setup? I.e what components you need next to have this setup ready to cast out

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. I attach a safety clip and a lead and it is ready to go then.

[@ryankings6755]

@@BrianWingard the hook link you used for the quick change, do you attach that to the mainline with another swivel or are you just illustrating the hook link as if it was the mainline ?

Ady Bogg flousemealt in water

[@azaz...]

would you use this only as single bait or can you use a solid pva bag or pva mesh ? thanks

[@BrianWingard]

I usually use mine with pva. It also helps to keep the rig out of the weeds some too. I need to update the video some because they made a few products that make the rig a little cleaner and less parts to make. Thanks for watching!

[@Evergreen7557]

Hi Brian, it's been a while since I've asked any questions. I've been off the carp forums for a little bit. I wasn't sure where I could contact you at. I was wondering what tactics you use primarily to prevent carp from hitting your line? 1. Do you use a sinking mono mainline2. a braid mainline3. Or a backlead or tungsten tubing? As always, thankyou for all you do! Ray

[@donb3557]

Excellent presentation.

[@BrianWingard]

Thank you!

[@simonyoung6027]

can you use a bait screw instead of the ring and floss?

[@SaulPVP]

yes

[@BrianWingard]

You can but I felt using floss is less what and keeps the buoyancy of the bait better.

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

you can use fluor carbon aswell punch whole in pop-up feed trough swivel feed 2 end trough pop-up and blob the ends

[@170adamb1]

Works best with big hook and small bait. Size 4 hook and 12mm pop up works pretty well. Just make sure the pop up is extra buoyant to lift up the size 4 hook properly.

[@esling77]

Great vid ty Brian. I think I will use this at Smith lake this spring !! TY

[@BrianWingard]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Good luck fishing!

[@finncooke6734]

Are you not supposed to add a weight onto the end to hold the rest down while that floats

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. The terminal tackle holds it down already but you still want to use a lead for the hookset. I just showed the rig itself in the video.

[@kevintan7676]

Thank you very much! I have a lot more coming. Will have more rig videos also.

[@whatcha7354]

Put your putty on the swivel under the shrink tube and don't pinch your quick change with pliers you will just weaken it. Don't use a cut down silicone sleeve on the quick change swivel use putty and shrink tube again it's much neater and the nuisance fish/crayfish won't remove the putty when they fuck around with your bait. These days we use the Nash PinPoint Fang Gyro Hooks.

[@Mossy06]

Can you use semi stiff ntrap as the hoolink material

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. You can use any hooklink material you like. Its all personal preference.

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

Can you use a boilie screw on the hook if you don't have micro swivels?

[@MrBIC22]

Yes!

[@BrianWingard]

I just posted on another video about this but I will copy and paste my answer and why. I personally never use bait screws unless they are plastic. Two reasons, the first is the added weight requires a larger boilie than I may want to use. The 2nd is if the rig breaks off I always fear the screw coming off and causing damage internally to the fish. Thanks for watching!

[@lukejay2789]

What knot do you suggest to connect this to your mainline ?

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. Honestly whatever you feel most confident in tying. Everyone has their go to knot and I would just stick with that if it works well for you.

why a hook do not have a barb? Do you have to use barbless hook for carp only in state WA?

It actually has a very very tiny barb on the hook if you zoom on. I prefer a barb. For some reason I feel it does less damage as you battle the fish.

What type of knot do you use to tie the hooklink material on the the quick change swivel

Honestly you can use whichever knot you feel confident in. Really no right or wrong type. A figure of 8 is a nice knot to use though.

[@BrianWingard]

[@bruceaylward7768]

I can't see where you tied the n trap or how you prepared it

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. I only showed the rig itself. the ntrap just gets tied to the swivel and you can connect to your lead how you usually do your knot.

[@srdjanaleksic4924]

It will not look on the bottom like you presented. 12mm pop-up is not enough to lift hook of the bottom, you need to use cork in that pop-up to achieve good buoyancy enough to lift hook. This way will be more like balanced bait.

[@texashombre]

Srdjan you are probably right , different hooks may weigh different also the popups thats why it good to check the rig in the water before using it . i made one today using plastic corn with foam and checked it ,i liked the way it looked and used it . didnt get a carp but a catfish hahahah

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. I use ccmoore pop ups the + range and they will pop the hook up as they are extra bouyant. But with any rig you always want to test it in the water to make sure it looks how you want it to be.

[@BrianWingard]

Thanks for watching. Definitely agree always test the rig in the water first.

[@LLCoolPeas]

Good video, well put together and clearly presented! Just one note: The shrink tube.. no need for the needle.. just pass it down the other end of the boom section haha. :P

Hey Brian, what's the best hook for a hair rig to a Method feeder rig to stay on the bottom? I'm new to carp fishing and don't know which hook to use. Thank you.

[@user-mo4vz6tn5b]

Sorry to bother again, but what hooks would you use for pup ups?

holy s*$t...how much did it cost to tie this rig with all the hardware involved? looks to be upwards of $50 by my estimate. sure you may be able to prepare 5 rigs but that is $10 per. find a cheaper version and I'll think about it.

[@paulbell145]

James Greene u

[@Writeous0ne]

In england, 10 hooks = $5, 10 swivels $4, 10 ring swivels $4, 10 feet of bait floss $5, shrink tube $4, 10 metres of hook link $6 The hook line, bait floss and shrink tube will last ages.

[@BrianWingard]

James, You can choose whichever rig you enjoy. I use a lot of various rigs and each one varies in price. Granted it may cost $50 for everything you get a lot of rigs made out of the materials and still have left over. If you choose to fish less expensive and less components then that is perfectly fine as well. Every rig has its own time and place. I just offer up how to tie a lot of rigs and make baits on my channel.

Behaves a lot like the bent hook rig. Double hooking and not good for fishes mouths. I wouldn't be surprised to see this banned on some waters in the not too distant future.

[@jamesaritchie1]

That is one dumb rig. People need to completely avoid carp fishing videos made in the UK. You can catch a carp with almost anything, but I guarantee a two or three to one bite ration, and at least a three to one hookup ratio, with plain old American doughball that covers the hook. I don't have a clue why people try to imitate fishermen from a country where carp are all fat, where most of them have names and get caught over and over, and where they don't even know what carp fishing is because they don't have wild carp like the ones in America. Grow up and be your own man.

[@BrianWingard]

LOL You completely miss the whole point of fishing. I am my own man first of all. I simply show people various ways to fish for carp. The angler watching can choose how they want to fish. You don't go bass fishing and use the same exact thing every time and carp is the same way. Just because it has not worked for you doesn't mean it doesnt work for the other 99%. Any fish can be caught with " anything" but when you start to specifically target particular fish such as big fish these quickly change your odds. I can go catch 30 carp in a day if I want also which some days I do. There are different ways to fish depending on what you want your outcome to be.
